Contained by Illini Buyuktuncel contributed three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes during Sunday's 78-69 loss to Illinois.

Impact Buyuktuncel was held to his lowest scoring output since Jan. 2 in the loss to Illinois, hitting just one shot and failing to get to the free throw line. The junior forward has been mostly quiet since the calendar flipped to 2026, failing to notch a double-digit point outing in that time frame.

No. 5 Nebraska's run of 24 wins in a row is over after narrow loss to No. 3 Michigan

Quiet in blowout win Buyuktuncel totaled four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 90-55 win over Oregon.

Impact Buyuktuncel has now been held without double-digit points in each of his last four games. The junior forward simply hasn't been that assertive, averaging 4.3 field goal attempts per game. The forward has had his big outings, but by and large he's been a role-player for the Huskers during this dream season. Keep that in mind when evaluating him for fantasy purposes.

Drops triple-double Buyuktuncel finished with 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 78-55 win over North Dakota.

Impact Buyuktuncel's triple-double against North Dakota was just the fourth triple-double in the history of Nebraska Basketball. The big man hadn't dished out more than three assists in a game this season, but he was the Huskers' top facilitator as Nebraska moved to a rather stunning 13-0. The junior has been hot and cold this season, but this was a phenomenal performance with the thick of conference play just around the corner.

Impact Buyuktuncel's activity in the paint gave Wisconsin problems all night long, and he scored an uber-efficient 14 points on five shots. The forward also put in work on the glass, swatting two shots while pulling down five rebounds. Buyuktuncel hadn't hit double figures since Nov. 15, but this kind of performance could ignite him moving forward.

After he shot 40 percent from the field last season in Lincoln, it's been more of the same this year through three games.
