Shows out vs. Air Force Toppin notched 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 82-56 victory over Air Force.

Impact The freshman forward added another double-double to his resume during Tuesday's win, bringing his season total up to 11 (with three in his last seven outings). Toppin has been a crucial piece of this Lobos team throughout the year, averaging 12.8 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game while appearing in all 32 of New Mexico's games. The Lobos could be on the outside looking in when it comes to the NCAA Tournament, so a win Thursday against Boise State would really help the team's chances of making it for first time since 2014.

Bounces-back vs. Broncos Toppin ended with 21 points (9-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks and two steals across 27 minutes during Saturday's 89-79 loss to Boise State.

Impact Toppin finished Saturday's loss as New Mexico's leading-scorer, putting up 21 points while shooting an impressive 75 percent from the field and 100 percent from behind the arc. The freshman's impact went further than just scoring as well, as he dominated the paint, grabbing eight boards and blocking three shots. The Lobos have now dropped to sixth in the Mountain West after losing four of their last six games, and Toppin will look to help get the team back on track Wednesday against Fresno State.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Near double-double Tuesday Toppin racked up 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 83-82 win over Nevada.

Impact Toppin has been a monster on the glass as of late, averaging over 12 rebounds per game across his last four contests. The 6-foot-9 forward out of Dallas has put together a really impressive freshman year, leading the Lobos in both rebounds (8.8) and blocks (2.0) per game while also scoring in double-figures (12.4 points per game). He'll look to continue his stretch of dominance on the glass as New Mexico finishes up its remaining Mountain West schedule.

Career day on glass Toppin racked up 17 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-10 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, five blocks and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 88-70 win over San Diego State.

Impact It was a career-best rebounding day for the freshman against a stout San Diego State defense, through it could have been far more impressive if it weren't for a dreadful performance from the free-throw line. Toppin is averaging an impressive 12.8 ppg and 8.1 rpg through 17 games (16 starts) this season, but his ceiling could be significantly raised if he's able to improve upon a 50 percent success rate from the charity stripe.
