Scores three points Sunday Wilson (undisclosed) tallied three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one steal and a block across 24 minutes during Sunday's 69-50 win over Tennessee.

Impact Wilson was questionable heading into the game due to an undisclosed injury but ended up having a solid outing while coming off the bench. He has scored a combined 10 points across the first four rounds of the tournament and will look to be at full health for next week's final four matchup.

Expected to play Wilson (undisclosed) is expected to play in Houston's game Sunday with Tennessee, according to Jeff Goodman of The Field of 68.

Impact Before the Goodman announcement, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports said Wilson would be available, and Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle said Wilson would be a game-time decision. Goodman's statement suggests Wilson is somewhere in the middle, though it is likely he will not sit out any games and try to make at least one more lasting impact before his collegiate career ends. For the 2025 NCAA Tournament, Wilson's stats include 2.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

Supposedly game-time decision Wilson (undisclosed) is supposedly a game-time decision for Houston's game Sunday with Tennessee, according to Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle.

Impact A few hours before Duarte's update, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports announced that Wilson would be available for Houston's upcoming game. Rothstein's update does not necessarily indicate the Cougars will use Wilson, and Duarte backs that idea up with his game-time statement. At the very least, Wilson is expected to be used, but that is not and likely will not be guaranteed until Houston's Elite matchup gets underway.

Available for Elite Eight Wilson (undisclosed) is available for Houston's game Sunday with Tennessee, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact An undisclosed injury prevented Wilson from participating in Houston's team practice Saturday, but all it took was approximately a day for him to be 100 percent. He is one of Houston's mainstay reserves, so the Cougars having him available makes their eight-man rotation healthy as they train for a ticket to San Antonio. Offensively, Wilson will have to pick up the slack, as the 2025 NCAA Tournament's first three rounds saw him shoot a combined 23.1 percent from the field. For this tourney, the senior's best has come from rebounding, with 6.0 boards per game justifying his current role.

Questionable versus Tennessee Wilson (undisclosed) is questionable for Sunday's matchup versus Tennessee, per Pete.

Impact Wilson didn't practice Saturday after suffering an undisclosed injury during Friday's Sweet 16 victory over Purdue leaving his status for the team's upcoming matchup versus Tennessee in doubt. He is averaging 5.7 points and 4.2 rebounds per game this season but has only scored a combined seven points across the first three rounds of the tournament.

Crashes glass for 13 boards Wilson amassed five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 74-54 victory over BYU.

Impact Wilson attempted only four shots while scoring five points, but posted his biggest contribution of the season off the glass by collecting 13 boards in 29 minutes off the bench during Friday's Big 12 semifinal victory. The Cougars were playing short-handed without starting forward J'Wan Roberts and Wilson was the one to step up, receiving the most court time he's seen all season while recording his highest rebounding total since prior to the pandemic during his time with Louisiana-Lafayette. Houston will make their second-straight appearance in the Big 12 championship and has likely already locked up a one seed when the NCAA Tournament bracket is announced on Sunday.

Returning to second unit Wilson is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Baylor.

Impact Wilson is another senior who wil return to the second unit in this contest. He's averaging 6.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game across 30 outings (one start) this season.

Starting for senior night Wilson will get the start on Houston's senior night against Kansas, Chris Baldwin of PaperCity Magazine reports.

Impact Wilson will get his first start in a Houston uniform on the Cougars' senior day. He's been a regular contributor this season, averaging 6.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.1 assists. He'll replace Emanuel Sharp in the starting five, but his start should be purely ceremonial; expect Wilson to receive the same workload as usual.

Provides spark off bench Wilson recorded 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and six rebounds in 24 minutes during Saturday's 92-86 2OT win over Kansas.

Impact Wilson provided a major spark off the bench for the Cougars, scoring 18 points and grabbing six boards during Houston's big road win over Kansas. Wilson scored nine of Houston's final 14 points in the first half to help them stay in it, then connected on a late three with 0:02 remaining on the clock following a steal of the inbounds pass in OT to send the game to a second extra session. The 18 points were a season high for Wilson, who had reached double figures three times prior to his outburst on Saturday.

Perfect from field Wilson notched 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and four rebounds across 17 minutes during Saturday's 86-55 win over BYU.

Impact Wilson was perfect from the floor, hitting all five of his shots while draining both attempts from beyond the arc in posting 12 points. The senior reserve dropped his highest point total since scoring 15 on opening night.

Contributes off bench Wilson closed with 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Saturday's 87-85 victory over Oklahoma.

Impact Wilson saw a season-high 24 minutes Saturday, posting a perfect outing from the floor en route to a solid 10 point, five rebound performance. The senior bench contributor also added an assist, a steal and a block in what was a much-needed productive road performance. It was the fourth double-digit scoring game for Wilson this season and the ninth time he's posted five or more boards. Over 28 games this season, Wilson is averaging 13.5 minutes, 4.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals.

MARCH 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Houston again Wilson (hand) logged six points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal during Houston's exhibition game Saturday against UNC Pembroke.

Impact Wilson has been an integral part of a college team before. The redshirt senior averaged 12.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.2 steals across his multiple seasons with Louisiana-Lafayette. But now, the question is how much he can do for a top basketball school. Wilson redshirted Houston's 2022-23 season, an excellent campaign starring fellow point guard Marcus Sasser. Following his college departure, he is expected to be replaced by LJ Cryer, a proven PG who transferred from Baylor.
