Chris Cenac Jr. - Crashes glass for 12 boards Cenac finished Monday's 70-67 loss to Iowa State with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 12 rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes.
Impact Cenac contributed seven points and pulled down 12 boards, the fifth time in 13 conference games he's crashed the glass for double figures. The freshman big man is shooting better than 50-percent from the floor in conference play and is averaging 9.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals across 25.6 minutes against Big 12 foes.

Kingston Flemings - Breaks out of mini slump Flemings finished Monday's 70-67 loss to Iowa State with 22 points (9-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes.
Impact Flemings matched a season high with his four triples, leading to his 10th game with 20 or more points. Monday's performance follows two straight in which the freshman point guard had combined to go just 4-for-22 (18.2-percent) from the field and ends a five-game drought from beyond the arc. Flemings also added five boards and four dimes, the 15th straight game he's dished out at least four assists. Flemings is now averaging 17.9 points, 5.6 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 32.5 minutes through 13 games against conference foes.

Men's College Basketball Rankings: Purdue, Texas Tech Make Massive Jumps

FOX Sports' Casey Jacobsen shares his latest men's college hoops rankings with several big moves this week.

Men's College Basketball Rankings: Purdue, Texas Tech Make Massive Jumps
Milos Uzan - Dishes out 8 assists Uzan racked up 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 78-64 victory over Kansas State.
Impact Uzan dished out eight assists to go along with 12 points during Houston's win over the Wildcats. The assist total was two off a season high for Uzan, who also reached double figures in the scoring column for the seventh time across 12 conference games. The emergence of star freshman Kingston Flemings, who has taken over the point guard duties from Uzan, has muted Uzan's production a bit this season but the senior guard remains a valuable piece for the Big 12 conference leaders. Since the start of conference play, Uzan is averaging 11.4 points, 3.4 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals while draining 40.6-percent of his attempts from beyond the arc.
FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Joseph Tugler - Low shooting volume continues Tugler ended Saturday's 78-64 victory over Kansas State with two points (1-1 FG), one rebound and one assist over 14 minutes.
Impact Tugler is the perfect example of a player who has far more real-life value as a leader and a defender than he does in fantasy circles. He did have a streak of four straight games in double figures in January, but in the seven games since, he's averaged just 5.6 ppg. At least he's been efficient, as that low-scoring run has came along with a solid shooting percentage of 73.7.

Kalifa Sakho - Logs six boards, two blocks in win Sakho closed with six points (3-3 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and two blocks across 19 minutes during Saturday's 78-64 victory over Kansas State.
Impact Sakho continued his role as the backup center and rotator in the win over the Wildcats, and he made his mark in the paint. The 6-foot-11 senior has now recorded two blocks in back-to-back games, and he's logged six or more rebounds in four showings. This performance also has him averaging 5.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and one blocks across his last four outings.
