ERNEST UDEH NEWS

Playing Thursday Udeh (back) will play in Thursday's game against Santa Clara, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Udeh had missed the Horned Frogs' last two games with a back injury, but it appears the junior center is good to go on Thanksgiving. The 6-foot-11 Udeh has been impactful when he's on been on the floor, averaging eight points and 9.3 rebounds per game for the Horned Frogs through three contests this season.

Ruled out Tuesday Udeh (back) will not appear in Tuesday's game against Alcorn State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Udeh will miss his second-consecutive game with a back injury as the Horned Frogs take on Alcorn State. The 6-foot-11 junior started in each of TCU's first three games, averaging eight points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 blocks on 22.7 minutes per game. In Udeh's absence, David Punch is expected to continue starting at the five spot for TCU.

Not playing vs. Michigan Udeh won't be available for Friday's game against Michigan due to a back injury, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Losing Udeh is a huge blow for TCU, as the big man plays a key role for the Horned Frogs on both ends of the court. Udeh is averaging 8.0 points and 9.3 rebounds per game in his first three appearances this season.

Posts double-double Udeh contributed 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and one block across 16 minutes during Monday's 105-59 victory over Florida A&M.

Impact Udeh needed just 16 minutes to produce his second career double-double during Monday's blowout victory. Udeh started all 29 games he played in last season, averaging 17.3 minutes, 4.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest. While Monday's performance likely won't be the norm, expect Udeh to see an uptick in minutes and production this season for the Horned Frogs.

Questionable vs. Central Florida Udeh (lower leg) is questionable for TCU's game Saturday against Central Florida, according to Steven Johnson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Impact Udeh is still without a clean bill of health as TCU's team prepares for its last game before the 2024 Big 12 Tournament. The big man is trying to prevent his sixth consecutive DNP. But if Udeh must sit out again, Xavier Cork is expected to be TCU's starting center again Saturday.

Sees 23 minutes Udeh totaled three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and three steals in 23 minutes during Saturday's 71-59 loss to Iowa State.

Impact Udeh played 20-plus minutes for the fourth time in 10 conference games, hitting on his only field-goal attempt while contributing five boards and three steals. It was the third conference game in which he recorded a steal, posting multiple steals each time. Udeh is not relied upon for much offense, but does contribute some ancillary stats when he's on the floor. He's started all 10 conference games, seeing 18.8 minutes of court time per contest and averaging 3.9 points, 5.5 boards, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks.

Perfect off the bench Udeh logged 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 12 minutes during Thursday's 91-65 victory over Seton Hall.

Impact Udeh made the most of his limited minutes off the bench, notching a season high in points while going perfect from the field. The freshman center was one of six Jayhawks players to finish with at least 10 points, as the team converted 63.4 percent of its shots from within the arc. Udeh has averaged 3.1 points and 2.6 boards over 9.9 minutes per game, though he could see increased playing time again if Kansas gets out to a big lead against Missouri on Saturday.

Comes off bench to open season Udeh produced five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal over 14 minutes during Monday's 89-64 victory over Omaha.

Impact Udeh came off the bench behind big men K.J. Adams and Jalen Wilson in his collegiate debut. The 6-foot-11 freshman still managed to come away with five boards despite his limited playing time, and he may be the Jayhawks' only true center with a legitimate chance to see meaningful playing time this season, as sophomore Zach Clemence played just four minutes Monday.
