Staple down low Yigitoglu amassed 14 points (7-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 88-74 loss to Louisville.

Impact Yigitoglu is far from SMU's offensive focal point, but an efficient day here allowed him to match his second-best scoring total of the season. He's been a staple for the program in the last two seasons, starting every game at center and averaging in double figures. This year, his minutes and efficiency have both seen a spike, as Yigitoglu is shooting 60.6 percent from the field -- seven points better than his freshman season.

Records double-double Yigitoglu contributed 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 74-70 loss to Clemson.

Impact Even though Yigitoglu has had a lesser role on offense since he shares the frontcourt with Corey Washington, he remains productive and capable of putting up decent numbers on both ends of the court. Yigitoglu has four double-doubles in his last four appearances, so his consistency on both ends of the court is a nice reward for fantasy managers.

Impact Even though Corey Washington and Boopie Miller led the offense for SMU in this one, it's worth noting that Yigitoglu posted a complete stat line. Yigitoglu made his presence felt on both ends of the court and should continue to be one of the Mustangs' most reliable two-way forces every time he steps on the hardwood.
