Jordan Derkack - College Basketball News & Rumors

Coming off a DNP Derkack did not take the court in Monday's 75-68 loss to UCLA.

Impact No reason was provided for Derkack's absence, but considering his playing time had been trending downward of late, this appears to be a coach's decision. He was averaging 22.9 mpg on the season, but that's taken a hit since his removal from the starting five in mid-December. Over his last four games, he was averaging 4.5 ppg across 16.8 mpg. It remains to be seen if this trend will continue Thursday at Nebraska.
