Impact Edgecombe (hamstring) returned from a one-game hiatus to fill up the boxscore Monday. Edgecombe did not connect on any of his three-point attempts but was perfect from inside the arc and continued to serve as a menace on the defensive end, matching a season high with four steals and marking the eighth time in eight games he posted at least one steal and one block. Most importantly, despite the result of the contest never really being in doubt, the star freshman played 30 minutes, an encouraging sign that his gimpy hamstring should be in good shape moving forward.

Jayden Nunn - Perfect from long range Nunn had 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 88-57 victory over Abilene Christian.
Impact Nunn was perfect on all four attempts from long range on his way to a team-high 18 points during Monday's win. It was the fourth time Nunn has connected on at least four triples this season. The senior guard has had a bit of an up and down offensive season through nine games, scoring 16 or more four times while posting eight of fewer points on three occasions. In total, Nunn is shooting 52.9 percent on 51 attempts from three, averaging 12.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 steals across 30.0 minutes per contest.

The 6-foot-5 freshman, who sat out last week against UConn with a hamstring injury, is averaging 11 points, 5.4 rebounds, three assists, 2.1 steals and 1.6 blocks across seven starts.

Impact Wright came off the bench to pour in a season-high 22 points while shooting an impressive 64.3 percent from the floor. The freshman also saw a season-high 33 minutes as he was forced to fill in for an injured Jeremy Roach, who suffered a concussion during the contest.

Impact Losing Roach is absolutely huge for the Bears, as the floor general has been massive for the team this season. He's averaging 13.3 points, 4.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 0.6 steals per game this season. His next chance to play will come against Abilene Christian on Monday, Dec. 9, but if he can't go, then Rob Wright should be in line to see more minutes in the backcourt.
DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Langston Love - Starting vs. UConn Love is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game at Connecticut.
Impact Love will get the nod in the starting lineup over VJ Edgecombe. He'll have to fill the shoes of one of Baylor's best players, as the true freshman is averaging 11.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.6 blocks this year. On the other hand, Love made his season debut in Thursday's wild win after missing the first four games of the season with an ankle injury.
