Impact Lawrence will look for his third program to play for after logging this past season with Rhode Island and his first two with Nebraska. The junior guard saw an uptick in minutes and output with the Rams after making the switch from the Cornhuskers, but he still averaged under 10 points this past campaign. He has one year of eligibility remaining as he searches for a new team.

Impact Lawrence cashed in on 3-of-4 looks from deep, closing with 15 points, three rebounds, an assist and a block during Friday's win over the Hoosiers. The 6-foot-3 sophomore has appeared in all 32 games this season (23 starts), averaging 6.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.8 steals on 23.4 minutes per game. Lawrence and the Cornhuskers will throw down with Illinois on Saturday for a chance to get to the Big Ten Championship game.

Coming off bench Wednesday Lawrence has been excluded from the starting rotation for Wednesday's matchup against Northwestern.

Impact Lawerence will be coming off the bench for the first time this season. The sophomore guard has scored less than 10 points in each of his last four outings.

All-around contribution in loss Lawrence racked up seven points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 87-82 OT loss to Rutgers.

Impact Despite struggling to find his own shot against the Scarlet Knights, Lawrence still managed to fill the stat sheet with seven points, six rebounds and five assists Tuesday. The 6-foot-3 sophomore has been unable to settle into his shot this season, averaging 5.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.7 steals on 24.2 minutes per game, while shooting just 33.3 percent from the field. Lawrence will look to help the reeling Cornhuskers get back on track Saturday against Northwestern.

Forces four turnovers Wednesday Lawrence ended with 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 86-70 win over Indiana.

Impact Lawrence closed the 12 points, three rebounds, three assists and a whopping four steals as the Cornhuskers dispatched Indiana with ease. The 6-foot-3 sophomore has started in all 14 games this season, averaging 6.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 steals on 25.4 minutes per game. Lawrence will be especially lethal when he settles into his three-point shot, as his current 27.1 percent mark from range is well off his 2022 accuracy of 37.3 percent.

Posts 11 rebounds in exhibition game Lawrence finished with five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals during Monday's 84-53 win over Doane University.

Impact Lawrence was uncharacteristically active on the glass during Monday's exhibition win, after recording zero double-digit rebounding performances last season. The 6-foot-3 sophomore is the Cornhuskers' presumed starting point guard in 2023, and he will look to build upon a solid freshman season.

Scores 11 points Lawrence accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-6 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 78-67 victory over Minnesota.

Impact Lawrence logged 11 points during three of his last six games started. But because he scored nine across Nebraska's other three matchups, his point average was only 7.0 across the six-game span.

Listed in starting lineup Lawrence (ankle) is listed in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against Minnesota.

Suffers ankle injury Lawrence suffered an ankle injury during the Cornhuskers' 70-66 win Sunday versus Maryland, according to Jacob Padilla of Hail Varsity.

Impact Lawrence's ankle injury indicates a valid reason why he played less than 20 minutes Sunday. Currently, the Cornhuskers are scheduled to host Minnesota on Saturday. Lawrence will receive at least five days of rest beforehand.

FEBRUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 12 points Lawrence logged 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 78-63 loss to Northwestern.

Impact Lawrence's latest log is his first to have at least 10 points. It indicates he has promising upside now more than ever before. Nebraska will be indefinitely without Emmanuel Bandoumel (knee) and Juwan Gary (shoulder), so Lawrence has an opportunity to play a lot alongside the shortened roster.

Notches first career start Lawrence will start Wednesday night against Northwestern, per Robin Washut of Rivals.com.

Impact The true freshman will log his first career start Wednesday night with Emmanuel Bandoumel done for the season. Lawrence has played sparingly across 16 games, putting up 2.0 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.6 assists over 10.4 minutes. The guard will get a tough test against a stingy Northwestern defense in his first start.

JANUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores three in loss Lawrence closed with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 14 minutes during Tuesday's 76-50 loss to Illinois.

Impact Lawrence has been held scoreless on eight occasions this season so he's still settling into the college game. As he's willing to take a few three-pointers if given the chance, Lawrence could find his stride down the line.
