Minimal action in return Tchewa (thigh) went scoreless (0-3 FG) with three rebounds over five minutes off the bench versus Hawaii.

Impact Tchewa was available for the Bulls as was reported prior to the game but only managed to take the floor in a very limited role. Look for the big man to retake his place in the starting lineup once he's back at full speed.

Steps up in victory Tchewa totaled 16 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3PT, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, one block, one assist and one steal in Tuesday's 75-54 win over Bethune-Cookman.

Impact As a sophomore, Tchewa averaged just 3.3 points per game. His 16 points Tuesday night are a welcome sight for Bulls fans who's leading scorer last season transferred. With a new gap to fill offensively, Tchewa stepped up and efficiently led the offense in scoring. While it's unknown who the real number one scoring option is for the Bulls, Tchewa's production offensively can be assumed to stay around his 4-6 shots per game this season.

Starting Sunday Tchewa is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Houston.

Impact Tchewa is back in the starting lineup as his inclusion Sunday will send Michael Durr to the bench. The 7-0 sophomore averages 3.6 points and 2.5 boards in 11.2 minutes per game as he and Durr could potentially see more of a split in time if head coach Brian Gregory opts to give him a more featured role as a starter.

Impact Tchewa made his first start of the season Wednesday against UCF in place of Michael Durr who missed the game for undisclosed reasons. The 7-0 sophomore had four points (1-3 FG, 2-5 FT), four rebounds and a steal in 17 minutes as a starter and will likely see his minutes' total dip to around 10 now that he's back on the bench.

FEBRUARY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Making first start of season Tchewa will start Wdnesday's game against UCF.

Impact Tchewa has really come on of late, averaging seven points and six boards over 11.7 minutes per contest in the last three. With him getting the start for the injured Michael Durr (undisclosed) and potentially more minutes, the big man could be a worthwhile option in fantasy lineups.
