Part of starting lineup Sunday Bishop is part of Texas' starting lineup Sunday against Miami, according to Bob Ballou of CBS Austin.

Impact Dylan Disu (foot) will sit out Texas' Elite Eight game of the 2023 NCAA Tournament. Texas named Bishop as his rightful replacement following his 18-point, nine-rebound performance during the Sweet Sixteen.

No. 7 Texas beats No. 22 TCU 66-60 in Big 12 semifinals

Dylan Disu and Christian Bishop scored 15 points apiece and No. 7 Texas beat No. 22 TCU 66-60 in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals

MARCH 11, 2023 • Associated Press

Gets it done on both ends Bishop supplied 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 26 minutes during Saturday's 69-66 victory over Kansas State.

Impact Bishop tied for team highs in points, steals and blocks in this tight win for Texas. The senior forward also logged the Longhorns' second-most rebounds behind fellow reserve Sir'Jabari Rice, whom also matched him for a team high in points. This was also Bishop's longest playing time of any game this season, as starting forward Dylan Disu only played 11 minutes. Expect Bishop to continue providing solid, albeit moderate, statistical contributions behind Disu and Timmy Allen moving forward.

Team-high five boards Bishop provided seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes during Saturday's 82-71 loss to Tennessee.

Impact Bishop just slightly finished as the Longhorns' leading rebounder, as starters Dylan Disu, Marcus Carr and Tyrese Hunter all recorded four boards. This lack of team rebounding was part of the reason for Texas' loss given that the team was outrebounded 38-24. Bishop has played at least 17 minutes in six of the last nine games, though his fantasy value won't be consistent unless he can establish a larger scoring role.

Jaren Holmes scored 21 points while Gabe Kalscheur added 16 points and No. 12 Iowa State beat No. 7 Texas 78-67 Tuesday night

JANUARY 18, 2023 • Associated Press

Team-high 12 points in road loss Bishop supplied 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 78-67 loss to Iowa State.

Impact Bishop finished as the Longhorns' leading scorer during this quiet night for guards Marcus Carr (11) and Tyrese Hunter (10). The 6-foot-7 senior also logged his highest number of field-goal attempts in a Big 12 game this season, so his overall production should continue to be limited barring any injuries to Texas' starting frontcourt moving forward.

13 minutes in limited outing Bishop (back) notched six points (2-5 FG, 2-3 FT) and three rebounds in 13 minutes during Saturday's 56-46 win over Oklahoma State.

Impact Bishop played his third-fewest minutes in a game this season after picking up a back contusion during Monday's loss to Kansas State. However, he was still able to collect three rebounds during this seemingly limited outing, and he's now averaged 3.3 boards and 6.5 points while playing a consistent role off the bench. It will be worth monitoring Bishop's minutes Wednesday against TCU for a better gauge of his availability moving forward.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Bishop (back) is considered a game-time decision for Saturday's game at Oklahoma State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Bishop was forced to leave Tuesday's game against Kansas State early due to a lower back contusion. He is now in danger of missing his first game of the season. In 14 games thus far, he has averaged 6.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks across 16.8 minutes. More clarity on his status will come after he tests things out during warmups, but Dylan Disu would be the likely beneficiary if he does indeed sit out.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Bishop (back) is questionable for Saturday's showdown with Oklahoma State, Jeff Howe of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Bishop exited Tuesday's matchup with Kansas State due to a lower back contusion, and his status for Saturday's game is uncertain. The 6-foot-7 senior has appeared in all 14 games this season, averaging 6.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks on 16.8 minutes per game. If Bishop is unable to suit up, Dylan Disu may be forced to take on a larger minute allocation.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • KANSASCITY.COM

Returning to the bench Bishop is not listed in Texas' starting lineup ahead of Saturday's matchup with Oklahoma.

Impact Bishop will return to the bench after starting in Tuesday's game against Texas A&M. The 6-foot-7 senior has been effective as Dylan Disu's backup this season, averaging 6.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks on 17.2 minutes per game.

Edges double-double in blowout win Bishop logged 16 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and four assists in 21 minutes during Saturday's 88-43 victory over UAPB.

Impact Bishop saw his highest playing time of the year, leading him to record season highs across the board against this outmatched Arkansas Pine-Bluff squad. The fifth-year senior started 23 of 34 games with the Longhorns last season, though he's come off the bench for the first eight games of the 2022-23 campaign. However, he's only playing 2.4 fewer minutes per game, and he's actually averaging 0.4 more rebounds compared to the 2021-22 season. Expect Bishop to once again play a primary reserve role against Rice on Monday.
