EVAN BATTEY NEWS

Limited minutes despite start Battey had a point, a rebound and two assists across 12 minutes in Monday's 78-49 victory over Oregon State.

Impact Battey injured his leg Saturday against Arizona in the game's closing minutes, and while it didn't prevent him from drawing the start Monday, the junior forward appeared to be a bit limited. He ended up logging season-lows in minutes played and rebounding, but with Colorado firmly in control the whole game, it's possible the team was just being conservative with Battey's usage. If he's limited at all Thursday against Stanford, look for Dallas Walton (12 points, seven rebounds) and Jeriah Horne (16 points, seven rebounds) to continue picking up the slack.

Dressed for Monday's game Battey (leg) is dressed for warmups ahead of Monday's game against Oregon State, Pat Rooney of the Boulder Daily Camera reports.

Impact Battey suffered a minor leg injury in the final seconds of Saturday's game against Arizona, a contest in which he recorded a season-high 21 points to lead his team to an 82-79 win. He didn't appear to be favoring the injured leg during warmups, so he should be able to play at full strength or something close to it Monday.

Leads Colorado with 16 points Battey posted 16 points (6-11 FG, 0-0 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and zero assists across 30 minutes in Saturday's 70-59 win over Washington.

Impact It was Battey's third consecutive game with double-digit points, and he also recorded a block and a steal for the first time this season. He was efficient from the field, connecting on over half of his field goal attempts while going perfect from the line. Battey could be in line for a bigger role if McKinley Wright's leg injury causes him to miss time.

Posts double-double in win Battey recorded 13 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Saturday's 77-64 victory over Stanford.

Impact The double-double is Battey's second in the last four games, which is especially impressive considering he doesn't play a large role in the offense and often plays less than 30 minutes. It's a testament to the efficient play from the post-player, who is connecting on 52 percent of his two-point attempts and has also improved to 83 percent from the line.

Impact Battey has struggled a bit with his efficiency this season, connecting on just 43 percent of his field goal attempts compared to 53 percent last season. We'll see if the season-high in points gets some positive momentum going for the future. Battey has done a good job getting to the line, leading Colorado with four free-throw attempts per game.
