Spurring KSU's surge McDaniel notched 24 points (10-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and five steals across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 73-70 victory over Arizona.

Impact McDaniel led all scorers with 24 while adding five steals on the defensive end to help Kansas State pull off the upset. The 24 points were a season high for the junior point guard while the five steals also match a high-water mark. McDaniel had scored 22 points while dishing out 20 assists over his last two games but took on more of a scoring role Tuesday. After losing six of their first seven to start conference play, the Wildcats are now in the midst of a six-game winning streak thanks in large part to the play of McDaniel, who's averaged 15.2 points, 6.7 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 steals across 34.7 minutes during the streak.

Leads team with eight assists McDaniel contributed six points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 89-65 victory over New Orleans.

Impact McDaniel came off the bench as expected and struggled from the field, though he led the team with eight assists. The Michigan transfer averaged 16.3 points and 4.7 assists last year and while those numbers figure to take a hit this season due to the backcourt depth in Manhattan, McDaniel will be a key contributor this season for the Wildcats.

Starts first road game since Jan. 7 McDaniel closed with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Thursday's 82-52 loss to Rutgers.

Impact McDaniel was cleared of his team-issued away-game suspension prior to the contest, paving the way for him to suit up for a road game for the first time since Jan. 7. He didn't see the same shooting volume that was allotted Sunday against Purdue here, but that was due largely to this game getting out of reach for the Wolverines. Michigan is riding a six-game losing streak, and the season is essentially a lost cause at this point, but McDaniel will at least be cleared to produce for fantasy managers relying on him in upcoming matchups at Ohio State (March 3) and versus Nebraska (March 10).
