Fawaz Ifaola - Good to go Saturday Ifaola (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game against Arizona State.

Impact Ifaola was deemed probable to feature in this contest, but the big man will be available and should handle his regular workload in Colorado's frontcourt. He's averaging just 1.0 points and 2.5 boards per game this season, but he might remain in the starting lineup here, as he's been in the first unit in Colorado's last two games.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Andrew Crawford - Probable Saturday Crawford (undisclosed) is listed as probable for Saturday against Arizona State.

Impact Crawford has played a minor role for the Buffaloes this season, averaging 2.0 points across seven games. Thus, his availability shouldn't matter all that much Saturday.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Fawaz Ifaola - Probable against ASU Ifaola (undisclosed) is listed as probable ahead of Saturday's game against Arizona State.

Impact Ifaola, who recently established himself in the Buffaloes' starting lineup after missing a multitude of games earlier this season, has returned to Colorado's injury report. The 7-foot freshman, who is averaging 0.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.5 blocks on 7.8 minutes per game (11 games), is expected to play, but his probable status is worth noting ahead of Saturday's contest.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Elijah Malone - Available vs. Sun Devils Malone (undisclosed) is available against Arizona State on Saturday.

Impact Malone missed the Buffaloes' last game, a loss at Baylor, but he will be available to return Saturday back at home against Arizona State. The senior center, who's started all but one game he's played this season, averages 4.8 points and 3.2 rebounds.

Elijah Malone - DNP Wednesday Malone (undisclosed) did not play during Colorado's 86-67 loss to Baylor on Wednesday.

Impact Malone was held out of Wednesday's contest for undisclosed reasons, marking his first missed game of the season. The 6-foot-10 big man was recently removed from the starting lineup as the team was looking to change things up, but it's unclear whether his absence is related to the move to the bench. His next opportunity to return will come against Arizona State on Saturday.

Ian Inman - Rare production off bench Inman accumulated 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and two rebounds in 11 minutes during Wednesday's 86-67 loss to Baylor.

Impact Inman received an extended opportunity due to the nature of the contest and took advantage by tallying a season-high 10 points. It was just the second time this season that the freshman reserve has played more than 10 minutes with both coming in their two biggest losses of the season.

Sebastian Rancik, Isaiah Johnson help Colorado beat TCU 87-61 to end 6-game losing streak

Sebastian Rancik had 17 points, Isaiah Johnson scored 16 and Colorado cruised to an 87-61 victory over TCU, snapping a six-game losing streak

FEBRUARY 1 • Associated Press

Fawaz Ifaola - Contributes in first start Ifaola totaled six points (3-3 FG), six rebounds and one block over 19 minutes during Sunday's 87-61 win over TCU.

Impact Ifaola benefitted from coach Tad Boyle's lineup reshuffling, earning his first start and setting new season-best marks in minutes (19), points (six) and rebounds (six). The freshman seven-footer had played in just eight of 21 games heading into Sunday and had scored just four total points while topping double figures in minutes just once. With Colorado winning for the first time in seven contests, it would not be a surprise to see Colorado's lineup shift and Ifaola's subsequent new-found opportunity continue.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Josiah Sanders - Steps up in first start Sanders finished with 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 87-61 win over TCU.

Impact Sanders moved into the starting lineup for the first time this season and produced his best effort by contributing season highs in minutes (27), scoring (12) and assists (six). The 6-foot-5 freshman was one of three new starters for the Buffaloes as coach Tad Boyle decided to shuffle the lineup following a six-game losing streak. No new member of the lineup benefitted more than Sanders, who had reached double figures in scoring on just one other occasion. Considering his production and the successful result for Colorado, it would not be surprising if Sanders shift into a more prominent role continues moving forward.

Elijah Malone - Not part of starting lineup Malone is not part of the Buffaloes' starting lineup they will use Sunday against TCU.

Impact Malone's omission seems to have been a long time coming, considering his recent minutes declining. He logged fewer than 10 minutes in each of his last four starts.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Bangot Dak - Not in starting five Dak is not part of the Buffaloes' starting lineup they will use Sunday against TCU.

Impact Even though Dak averaged 9.6 points and 7.1 rebounds in January, he will be an omission in Colorado's starting lineup. Taking his place is Josiah Sanders.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Rancik - Not part of starting lineup Rancik is not part of the Buffaloes' starting lineup they will use Sunday against TCU.

Impact In place of Rancik will be Jalin Holland, a guard. Considering the available forward's January stats, his lineup omission is surprising. For then, Rancik logged 12.8 points per game.

Impact Johnson started his fourth-straight contest and continues to justify his newfound standing, scoring a team-high 24 points despite the Buffaloes being dominated in suffering their sixth-straight defeat. While Colorado has struggled after starting 2-0 in conference play, Johnson has hit his stride, averaging 18.1 points, 2.4 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 31.6 minutes through eight conference games.

JANUARY 28 • Associated Press

Sebastian Rancik - Scores 20, swipes four Rancik notched 20 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and four steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 95-86 loss to UCF.

Impact Rancik joined teammates Isaiah Johnson and Barrington Hargress with matching 20 point performances during Colorado's loss to UCF. Rancik, who also matched a season high with four steals, reached the 20-point mark for the second time this season. Through seven conference games, Rancik is averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks across 29.6 minutes.

Isaiah Johnson - Tallies 20 in loss Johnson ended Saturday's 95-86 loss to UCF with 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, six assists and one steal across 39 minutes.

Impact Johnson dished out a team-high six assists and was one of three Buffaloes to score 20 though it wasn't enough to prevent Colorado from losing their fifth-straight conference clash. Johnson has played a key role all season for the Buffaloes, averaging 16.1 points off the bench through the first 17 games, but has since been elevated into the starting lineup over the last three and is averaging 17.0 points to go along with 3.3 assists and 2.3 boards during that stretch.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Elijah Malone - Good to go Friday Malone (undisclosed) is off the injury report ahead of Friday's clash with Central Florida.

Impact Malone sustained an injury during the meeting with Kansas but appears to have put it past him and is ready to go for this contest. The senior center totaled four points and four rebounds across his last three outings.
