Max Abmas - Tallies season low in pointsAbmas logged 10 points (4-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes during Monday's 81-71 loss to UConn.

ImpactIt was an off night for Abmas who shot just 28.6% from the field. On the bright side, he did match a season-high with five assists. The star transfer from Oral Roberts has struggled a bit in his jump to the Big 12, averaging a career-low in points (13.6), FG% (40.6%) and FT% (75%).

Tristen Newton - Dishes eight assistsNewton had eight points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one block in 38 minutes during Monday's 81-71 win over Texas. He also had three turnovers.

ImpactNewton was impactful, but he could not maintain his momentum after dropping 23 points and 11 rebounds versus Indiana on Sunday. However, he set a season high in assists and currently possesses a boosted ceiling with Stephon Castle (knee) out for the rest of November.

Stephon Castle - Targeting Dec. 1 returnCastle (knee) is targeting his return for Connecticut's game at Kansas on Dec. 1, according to Adam Zagoria of NJ.com.

ImpactLike Connecticut, Kansas is a top contender to win the 2024 NCAA Championship, so it should not be too surprising that Castle is targeting his return for when both teams begin their December schedule against each other. While he will sit out at least two more of the Huskies' games, they may be all Castle is absent for, a surprising but welcome development following the minor procedure of his injured knee.
