Robert O. Wright - Seeing heavy minutes Wright finished Tuesday's 73-59 loss to Texas Tech with 15 points (5-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 39 minutes.
Impact Wright remained in the starting lineup despite the return of Jeremy Roach, playing a team-high 39 minutes in place of the injured VJ Edgecombe (ankle). Wright scored 15 points on the night while adding four boards, three helpers and a steal. It was the fourth-consecutive game Wright has scored at least 14. With Edgecombe's status in question moving forward, Wright should remain a fixture in the starting lineup and continue to play heavy minutes with Tuesday marking his sixth-consecutive start and the eighth-consecutive game he's tallied at least 30 minutes on the floor.
