Kevin Cross - Another strong performanceCross amassed 16 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 84-59 victory over Rice.
ImpactCross recorded his fourth double-double of the season during Wednesday's win over Rice. The senior forward also recorded multiple steals in a game for the fifth time in 2023-24.

Sam Alajiki - Unexpected scratchAlajiki (undisclosed) did not take the court in Wednesday's 84-59 loss to Tulane.
ImpactWhile the offseason move from California to Rice did not result in a starting role for Alajiki, he has been the team's primary sixth man. He had appeared and logged double-digit minutes in all prior 13 games this season, so considered Rice had 12 different players take the court, Alajiki would have been part of the mix if healthy. His next chance to suit up will be Saturday against UTSA.
