Alfonso Plummer - College Basketball News & Rumors

Top scorer in win Plummer racked up 24 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes during Friday's 86-51 win over Rutgers.

Impact Plummer has been on a tear across his last four appearances following a relatively lackluster start to the season. He's now scored 20-plus points in each of the last four games and has played at least 30 minutes in each of his last three outings. Since Andre Curbelo (neck) will remain out for Monday's game against Iowa, Plummer will likely continue to start and play a prominent role for Illinois.

Impact Plummer hadn't scored more than nine points in any of his first four appearances of the season, but he got hot from beyond the arc in Tuesday's win. After starting the season opener, he's come off the bench in each of the last four games and is now averaging 9.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 22.8 minutes per contest this year.

Heavy exhibition minutes Plummer had 16 points (3-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds and two steals across 33 minutes off the bench in Friday's 94-79 exhibition victory over Indiana (PA).

Impact There were a few circumstances that contributed to Plummer's high minutes total, as Da'Monte Williams sat with a back injury, and Trent Frazier only logged four minutes due to a shoulder injury. If either has to miss time during the regular season, Plummer likely stands to benefit the most. When the team is at full strength, however, it appears the Utah transfer will see usage primarily in a sixth-man capacity.

Game-high 17 points Plummer recorded 17 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and zero assists across 34 minutes in Saturday's 67-64 loss to Oregon.

Impact Plummer started his fourth straight game in place of the injured Rylan Jones and led scorers with 17 points on the strength of four three-pointers. He continues to not be much of a factor when it comes to contributing in the other statistical categories. Plummer is averaging 11 points on 30 percent shooting over the last four games.

In starting lineup Plummer will start Thursday against Cal, Josh Newman of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Plummer gets the start in the place of the injured Rylan Jones (arm) and could see a minutes boost as a result. Although the Utes aren't on DFS slates Thursday, Plummer may have some increased fantasy value as a result of the move and he is coming off of double-digit scoring in four straight games.
