Impact Stewart played off the bench for the first time this season against the Longhorns, but he still tied his second-highest point total of the season and recorded his highest-scoring day of the month.

Solid versus Arizona Stewart chipped in 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 71-67 loss to Arizona.

He played well defensively too, recording two steals and one block across his 28 minutes of action. Although Stewart has clearly established himself as a crucial part of the UConn starting five, he does not appear to have great value from a fantasy perspective given his low utilization on the offensive end.
