Men's College Basketball Top 10, Bubble Team NET Rankings: Gonzaga Makes Its Push

Jamie Kaiser Jr. - Available Tuesday Kaiser (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against Creighton, Akeem Glaspie of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Kaiser is set to return after a one-game absence. It wouldn't be surprising if he's back in the starting lineup right away, as he's been part of the first unit in each of his 12 appearances. Through that span, Kaiser is averaging 10.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.

Men's College Basketball Top 10, Bubble Team NET Rankings: Can Anyone Catch U-M?

Yohan Traore - Scores 11 versus NJIT Traore closed with 11 points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 21 minutes during Monday's 101-52 win over NJIT.

Impact Traore got an extended run of play Monday thanks to the Bulldogs' large lead, and he made the most of that opportunity. He scored double digit points for the fourth time this season, adding three rebounds and one blocked shot, his first block since Nov. 8. Although it was a solid performance from him, he has proven to not be particularly productive in normal matchups.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Efeosa Oliogu-Elabor - Productive in Monday's win Oliogu-Elabor racked up 13 points (3-3 FG, 7-11 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 101-52 victory over NJIT.

Impact Oliogu-Elabor played a season-high 23 minutes in Monday's blowout win, so he was able to truly show off his skills for the first time at the collegiate level. He scored 13 points on just three field goal attempts and also recorded season highs in rebounds (seven, three offensive) and assists (four). He has found a solid role in the Bulldogs' rotation in December and will look to hold onto that as the season fully transitions into conference play.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finley Bizjack - Scores 11 Monday Bizjack racked up 11 points (3-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 101-52 victory over NJIT.

Impact After two consecutive performances with seven or fewer points, Bizjack returned to double digits in Monday's win. It wasn't pretty though as he made just three of his nine field goal attempts and went 2-7 from three. Over his last three games he's shooting 6-28 from the field and 5-21 from three, a very disappointing stretch after a red-hot start to the season. He'll look to rediscover his form next Tuesday at Creighton.

Jack McCaffery - Good to go Monday McCaffery (illness) is available for Butler's clash with NJIT on Monday, per Akeem Glaspie of The Indianapolis Star.

Impact The freshman forward missed the last three games with an illness, but he's slated to return Monday afternoon in Butler's final buy game of the season. McCaffery averages 2.8 points and 1.6 rebounds this season.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Yame Butler - Starting for Kaiser Butler will get the start against NJIT on Monday, the program announced.

Impact Butler starts in place of the injured Jamie Kaiser (ankle), who will miss his first game of the season. Butler has come off the bench in his first year with the Bulldogs after transferring over from Drexel, averaging 4.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Ajayi - Dominant in Saturday's victory Ajayi amassed 19 points (8-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 61-58 victory over Northwestern.

Impact Ajayi continued to dominate in the paint for the Bulldogs Saturday as he grabbed a season-high 20 rebounds in the win over Northwestern. It marked his ninth double-double across 12 games this season and he's now averaging 16.8 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks across 32.8 minutes per game. Ajayi is now ranked second in the country in rebounding, only behind Kent State's Delrecco Gillespie (12.6 rebounds per game).

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • Associated Press

Jamie Kaiser Jr. - Out Monday afternoon Kaiser (ankle) won't be available for Butler's clash with NJIT on Monday, the school announced.

Impact Kaiser sustained an ankle injury against Northwestern, and it'll bleed into the Bulldogs' next game as he'll be forced to sit out against NJIT in a Monday afternoon showdown. The guard is having a career-reviving year with Butler, averaging 10.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists as an every-game starter. He'll look to return on Dec. 30 against Creighton.

Jamie Kaiser Jr. - Exits with injury Saturday Butler won't return to Saturday's game against Northwestern due to an undisclosed injury, according to SB Nation.

Impact The Bulldogs are shorthanded for this game, so not having Kaiser around represents another massive blow for them. Kaiser is averaging 9.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game for Butler this season.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jack McCaffery - Inactive Saturday McCaffrey (illness) will not appear in Saturday's game against Northwestern, Lukas Harkins of Basket Under Review reports.

Impact McCaffrey will miss his third-straight game as Butler hosts the Wildcats on Saturday. The 6-foot-9 freshman, who is averaging 2.8 points and 1.6 rebounds on 9.4 minutes per game (nine games), will have his next chance to return Monday against NJIT.
