Impact Tyson returned to the starting lineup after a one-game experiment with a 30-minute workload off the bench. While he didn't spark a victory, the junior pushed his season averages to 19.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals on 48.1/32.7/77.0 percent shooting in 34.2 minutes per game. Averaging 3.7 turnovers per game is a sizable blemish, but he's been an efficient creator of offense for California, yielding 0.960 team points per possession as a pick-and-roll initiator, which ranks in the 70th percentile nationwide. He uses 30.2 percent of the Golden Bears' possessions while on the court, which is the 49th largest share of any player in the country.

The NCAA has said it will be cracking down on eligibility for two-time transfers, and they've been consistent thus far. It's a tough break for Tyson, who started 31 games last season and put up 10.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists while displaying a great ability to stretch the floor as a forward.
