Posts double-double Friday Waterman amassed 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 34 minutes during Friday's 69-64 loss to Oklahoma.

Impact Waterman didn't have his best shooting performance, and even though the Cardinals came up short of getting the win, Waterman's double-double turned more than a few heads due to his energy on both ends of the court. Waterman has been trending in the right direction following a slow start to the campaign and has scored in double digits in two of his last three appearances.

Promoted to starting role Waterman is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Bellarmine.

Impact Waterman will move to the Cardinals' starting lineup due to the absence of Aboubacar Traore (arm). Waterman is averaging 7.0 points and 2.0 rebounds per game in his previous two outings.

Road struggles continue Waterman produced three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), eight rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 82-66 loss to Oklahoma.

Impact Waterman led BYU with eight rebounds though he converted on just one of five shot attempts, all from three, to put up another underwhelming offensive performance Tuesday. The senior forward performed well during the non-conference slate, posting 11.8 points and 6.6 rebounds while shooting 49.1% from the field and 42.9% from three. However, despite maintaining his starting status, he's struggled significantly in eight conference games with just as many zero-point efforts (three) as games with 17-plus points. Specifically, most of his struggles are taking place on the road as he averages 0.8 points and 5.8 rebounds on the road as opposed to 14.8 points and 4.5 rebounds at home during Big 12 play. To that end, three of the next four games for BYU will take place in the friendly confines of the Marriott Center.

Won't play Saturday Waterman will miss Saturday's game versus Texas Tech, Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletics reports.

Impact Waterman's absence comes as a bit of a surprise and at an unfortunate time, coming off a bounceback effort with 18 points versus Iowa State last time out. The senior big man will shift his focus toward Houston on Tuesday for his next opportunity to rejoin the action. On a positive note, Fouseeyni Traore (hamstring) has a chance to return, potentially adding back some depth in the frontcourt.

Rebounds with 18 points Waterman totaled 18 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 87-72 victory over Iowa State.

Impact Waterman had been struggling significantly on the offensive end prior to Tuesday, posting just seven total points since the start of conference play on just 3-for-16 shooting from the field. While he finished second on the team in scoring Tuesday, his struggles from the field continued in shooting just 33% on 12 attempts. He did rebound to drain three from long range while going 7-for-8 from the free-throw line after not making a trip to the line in each of his previous five games. The senior played a season-high 34 minutes Tuesday, in part due to the loss from the rotation of Trevin Knell due to a foot injury. For the season, Waterman ranks fourth on BYU with 10.5 points per game and leads the team with 6.5 rebounds. However, thus far through conference play those numbers have dipped to 6.3 points and 6.3 boards per contest.

On pace for career year Waterman totaled 24 points (9-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes during Thursday's 77-49 win over Arizona State.

Impact BYU has dealt with several concerns at the center position this season, especially of late. First, Aly Khalifa missed his third straight game Thursday with a knee injury. Heading into Friday's matchup against NC State, reserve big man Atiki Ally Atiki is suspended due to his role in an altercation in Thursday's Vegas Showdown matchup. Waterman has hardly been affected, however, as he's started all five games for the Cougars and has the third-best scoring average on the team at 12.0 ppg. There's one dud in the game log when he fouled out against a tough San Diego State squad back on November 10, but other than that, Waterman has been remarkably consistent. He's recorded seven or more boards in each of those four other contests and surpassed 15 points three times, including Thursday's career-best effort. The fifth-year senior will again be asked to carry the load for a short-handed BYU squad in Friday's Vegas Showdown finale.

Back to bench Waterman isn't starting Saturday's game against Gonzaga, Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletics reports.

Impact Waterman had drawn three straight starts, but he'll return to a bench role Saturday. Across 12 appearances as a reserve, the 6-foot-11 junior has averaged 4.0 points and 2.4 rebounds in 16.1 minutes per game.

Returns Thursday Waterman contributed five points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and two steals in 21 minutes during Thursday's 89-61 win over Loyola Marymount.

Impact Not only did Waterman return from a one-game suspension, but he made his first appearance in the starting lineup since Jan. 5. Still, he's likely not a fantasy factor in formats that use the WCC, as the junior forward has yet to reach double-figure scoring in 2023.

Starting Thursday Waterman will return from a one-game suspension and is in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup against Loyola Marymount, Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletics reports.

Impact Waterman was unavailable last Saturday against St. Mary's while serving a suspension. He'll get the start in his return to action Thursday, which will be his first appearance in the first five since Jan. 5. The 6-11 junior is shooting just 25 percent from the floor over his last eight games and will look to turn things around and help the Cougars end a three-game losing skid.

Sitting against St. Mary's Waterman is suspended for Saturday's game against St. Mary's, Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletics reports.

Impact Waterman has had a steady role for BYU, most recently coming off the bench. Across his last five games, he's managed only 2.2 points and 1.8 boards in 17 minutes, though the Cougars will still be shorthanded due to his absence Saturday. Waterman is expected to return for Thursday's matchup against Loyola Marymount.

Out of starting lineup Saturday Waterman will not start Saturday against San Diego, Greg Wrubell of BYU Athletics reports.

Impact Waterman has started all but one of the past 12 games for BYU, so it's unclear if he'll be sitting out with injury or if he's just been moved to a role off the bench Saturday. The 6-foot-11 junior has averaged 6.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 18 contests this season. In his stead, 6-foot-5 guard Spencer Johnson will move into the starting five versus San Diego.

Impact Waterman will play for St. Bonaventure in the 2022-23 season after averaging 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 25.3 minutes per game at Detroit this past season. The junior's field goal percentage was the lowest of his career at 42.9 percent, so he will look to improve his offensive efficiency with his new school.

Misses season opener Waterman (eligibility) didn't play in Friday's loss to Michigan State.

Impact Waterman transferred from Niagara to Detroit in early May, but the NCAA hasn't yet reached a decision regarding his eligibility. Since he missed most of the 2019-20 season with an ankle injury, he has a good chance of earning eligibility at some point this year, but he won't be able to take the court until a decision is reached.
