Scores 10, grabs nine boards Handlogten totaled 10 points (5-7 FG), nine rebounds and three assists over 18 minutes during Friday's 114-55 victory over Prairie View A&M.

Impact Because of the blowout nature of the game, Handlogten received extra playing time. None of the Gators starters played more than 25 minutes. In the second round, Iowa should provide a somewhat greater challenge for the defending champions. Handlogten's playing time should be reduced.

Starts, has near double-double Handlogten totaled 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 108-74 victory over Mississippi State.

Impact Handlogten started for Thomas Haugh (undisclosed) and had his most productive game in SEC play. He scored in double digits for the fourth time this season and equaled his most rebounds since the conference opener. Haugh will likely return on Saturday against Kentucky. Handlogten had two points and five boards in the Valentine's Day win over the Wildcats.

Snags two takeaways in win Handlogten chipped in two points (1-1 FG, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 17 minutes during Saturday's 92-83 win over Kentucky.

Impact Handlogten didn't do much on the scoring front with just two points over the Wildcats, but he made a mark on the defensive side of the ball with two steals and four defensive rebounds. The senior big man remains a consistent rotator behind starting center Rueben Chinyelu at this point in the season, and he'll continue to get meaningful playing time if he consistently holds his own against tough squads like Kentucky.

Scores 10, grabs eight boards Handlogten registered 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 102-61 victory over Saint Francis U.

Impact The backup center received a few more minutes because the game was a blowout with the Gators commanding a 24-point lead by halftime. The 7-1 senior opened the season with a pair of double-doubles, but has found production hard to find of late. Prior to Wednesday's game, Handlogten had only averaged 1.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in his previous six games. He may be a player to watch on Saturday against Colgate.

Impact Handlogten will finally return to the active roster after suffering a blow to the head against Miami 11 days ago. He'll add depth to the frontcourt as the backup behind Rueben Chinyelu.
