Impact Like any of the NCAA's conferences, the Big 12 is expected to include a breakout star. Rothstein suggests that it is likely Anderson, currently the Red Raiders' No. 1 option at point guard now that they no longer have either Elijah Hawkins or Chance McMillian. Even with them as teammates, Anderson logged several starts, for which he recorded 12.6 points per game.

Paces Red Raiders with 22 points Anderson finished Thursday's 85-83 OT victory over Arkansas with 22 points (7-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 44 minutes.

Impact Anderson led the way for the Red Raiders with 22 points during Thursday's come-from-behind win over Arkansas in the Sweet 16. The point and minutes total represented a season high for the freshman guard, who continues to see big minutes in place of the injured Chance McMillian. Anderson has averaged 14.0 points across 39.3 minutes during his six starts but has also maintained healthy averages of 10.1 opints across 28.6 minutes off the bench this season. Therefore, even if McMillian is able to return in time for Saturday's matchup with Florida, Anderson will still retain a big role for the Red Raiders with a Final Four berth at stake.

Scores 19 in spot start Anderson supplied 19 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 40 minutes during Friday's 86-80 loss to Arizona.

The freshman guar responded by scoring 19 while playing all 40 minutes of the team's conference semifinal loss to Arizona.
