Norchad Omier - Nearly perfect from field Omier notched 19 points (8-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds over 37 minutes during Monday's 76-65 loss to Houston.

Impact Omier missed just one shot en route to leading the Bears with 19 points during Monday's loss. The senior forward connected on a season-best 88.9-percent of his field-goal attempts while also grabbing five boards. The low rebounding total broke a string of three-consecutive games with a double-double. While the Bears have struggled a bit more than expected this season, standing unranked with a 15-9 record, Omier has fulfilled every expectation since arriving from Miami in the offseason, averaging 15.7 points and 10.3 boards through 24 games.

Joseph Tugler - Doing the dirty work Tugler ended with six points (3-4 FG), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 27 minutes during Monday's 76-65 victory over Baylor.

Impact Tugler hauled in eight boards to go along with six points, an assist and a block during Monday's win. Tugler, who took only four shots, is not relied upon to score all that often but has been highly valuable by doing the dirty work off the glass, recording at least seven boards for the sixth-consecutive game. The sophomore forward is second on the team, averaging 6.2 rebounds per contest while ranking first blocks, rejecting 2.2 shots per contest.

Milos Uzan - Steady play spurs Cougars Uzan produced 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 76-65 win over Baylor.

Impact Uzan was the catalyst of a balanced effort Monday, scoring 12 points and dishing out six assists as Houston saw five players reach double figures. Uzan's point total was second on the team behind L.J. Cryer's 14 but the ball distribution was key as Uzan not only led the team in helpers, but also did not commit a turnover and contributed two steals defensively. It's the fifth time during conference play and the seventh time this season the seasoned point guard has recorded at least five dimes without turning the ball over. It's also the 16th time this year he's had one or fewer turnovers in a game. There were other bigger names across the portal this past offseason but Kelvin Sampson's under-the-radar plucking of the former Oklahoma Sooner has paid massive dividends for the Cougars, who are once again national title contenders thanks in large part to the steady play of Uzan.
