Posts double-double in losing effort Bishop provided 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 FT), 11 rebounds and three blocks across 33 minutes during Monday's 68-61 loss to Baylor.

Impact Bishop turned in his first double-double of the season despite the loss to Baylor. The Creighton product has seen up and down minutes throughout most of this season, but over the last five games he is putting up 9.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks in 30.6 minutes per contest. Bishop will be a key for the Longhorns in the postseason and will look to close out the regular season with a win over Kansas on Saturday.

Nears double-double in loss Bishop accumulated 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 17 minutes during Tuesday's 77-64 loss to Texas Tech.

Impact After starting the season primarily coming off the bench, Bishop has now started nine of the last 11 games. During that stretch he is averaging 5.1 points and 5.5 rebounds in 19.3 minutes per contest. Texas has a lot of bodies in the frontcourt this season, which does limit some of Bishop's upside. Iowa State will be next up on Saturday.

10 points, eight boards in win Bishop logged 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one block and three steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 66-52 win over Oklahoma.

Impact Bishop had one of his better games of the season in a win over the rival Sooners. It was his fourth start in his last five games. The Longhorn frontcourt dynamic has been interesting this season outside of Timmy Allen. Bishop, Dylan Disu, Brock Cunningham, and Tre Mitchell will all mix in most games fairly equally, but Bishop's 26 minutes in this one were a season high.

Impact Bishop has come off the bench the past nine games after starting the first two contests of the season, and he'll now rejoin the lineup. He's averaged 3.3 points and 4.3 rebounds in 12.5 minutes over the past four games but should have the opportunity to be more involved Tuesday.

The Creighton transfer is averaging 9.4 points and 3.9 rebounds in just 15.0 minutes per contest this season.
