Elijah Saunders - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Leads Cavs in scoring Thursday Saunders finished with 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 59-41 win over Bethune-Cookman.

Impact Saunders was the only starter who scored more than 10 points in this contest, but that shouldn't be surprising after the first few weeks of the regular season. Firmly entrenched as one of the Cavaliers' go-to scoring weapons, he's posted at least 15 points in two of his past three outings.

Scores 19 in loss to Gators Saunders chipped in 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 87-69 loss to Florida.

Impact Saunders was the leading scorer for the Cavaliers in this 18-point loss to the Gators, a game in which Virginia looked completely outmatched. This was his best scoring mark of the campaign, but given that he's also failed to record double-digit points in four of his last six outings, Saunders isn't consistent enough to be reliable in most fantasy formats.

Scores team-high 12 points Saunders ended Friday's 80-55 loss to St. John's with 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and three rebounds over 25 minutes.

Impact The Cavaliers struggled massively Friday and only mustered 55 points against St. John's, and Saunders was the only player who reached the 12-point mark. Saunders has scored in double digits in three of his first five outings this season.

Leads Virginia in scoring Saunders finished Monday's 62-45 win over Coppin State with 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 29 minutes.

Impact Saunders was the Cavaliers' leading scorer in this easy victory, and he was the only player who reached the 15-point plateau. It's still early in the season, but the fact that he's scored in double digits in his two appearances paints a good picture of what his role will probably be this season.

Minutes drop coming off bench Saunders chipped in eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and one rebound across 14 minutes during Saturday's 81-67 win over Utah State.

Impact Saunders came off the bench for the first time this season but was still able to have an impact against Utah State, scoring eight points on efficient shooting splits. It's unknown if the 6-foot-8 sophomore will return to the starting lineup Tuesday against Air Force, but he could see his role decrease if Jay Pal continues to play as well as he did in Saturday's contest.

Moves to bench Saunders will play from the bench with forward Jay Pal getting the start, Chris Spiering of the East Village Times reports.

Impact Saunders will play from the bench for the first time this season, with 21-straight starts before Saturday. The sophomore forward hasn't been a huge contributor on offense with 6.0 points per game, but will still likely get ample minutes off the bench for the Aztecs.

Will start in opener Saunders will start in place of the injured Darrion Trammell in San Diego State's season opener against Cal State Fullerton, Mark Zeigler of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Saunders will get the start for the Aztecs, replacing Trammell (shoulder). The sophomore forward averaged 0.9 points per game for the Aztecs last season.
