Men's CBK AP Top 25: Iowa State Gets No. 2 Spot After Michigan Loss, Vandy in Top 10

Jaden Toombs - Career day despite defeat Toombs totaled 23 points (10-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 82-75 loss to Duke.

Impact Toombs missed the first 10 games of the season with a wrist injury, and his usage had been highly inconsistent even after getting cleared, serving essentially as the backup center to Samet Yigitoglu. Coach Andy Enfield switched things up Saturday and gave Toombs his first start of the season, and the freshman paid it back with career highs in scoring and rebounding against a tough Duke frontline. It still wasn't enough to knock off one of the top teams in the country on their home court, but Toombs more than showed he can take advantage of an expanded role when given the opportunity. It's unclear if Enfield will use the same lineup Wednesday against Virginia Tech, however.

Boopie Miller - Still ill, day-to-day Miller (illness) is day-to-day, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

Impact According to Billy Embody of On3.com, a physical illness is why Miller did not play SMU's 82-75 loss Saturday at Duke. Assimakopoulos indicates that SMU will monitor him Monday and Tuesday. The latter day will see his injury status get publicly updated before Wednesday's game against Virginia Tech. Miller has arguably been the ACC's best player this season, so both SMU and VT will be intent on knowing his midweek availability.

Sam Walters - Sidelined vs. Duke Walters (undisclosed) didn't play in Saturday's loss versus Duke.

Impact Walters was a late addition to the injury report and ended up missing his seventh game of the season. He is averaging 2.4 points and 1.2 rebounds across nine games this season and will look to make his return Wednesday versus Virginia Tech.

Jermaine O'Neal Jr. - Seven minutes off the bench O'Neal Jr. (undisclosed) totaled zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over seven minutes during Saturday's 82-75 loss to Duke.

Impact O'Neal logged seven minutes off the bench and didn't log a statistic in SMU's loss to Duke. The freshman forward was deemed a game-time call after being initially listed as probable, and while he played, he was clearly limited -- he's averaged about 15 minutes this season.

Boopie Miller - Won't play Saturday Miller (undisclosed) didn't warm up ahead of Saturday's game against Duke, Section 17 Media reports.

Impact Miller was considered a game-time call for Saturday's contest, and he'll wind up missing his first game of the season. The star forward's absence will open up a spot in the starting lineup for Jaden Toombs. Miller's next chance to play will come Wednesday against VT.

Boopie Miller - GTD vs. Duke Miller (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Blue Devils.

Impact Miller is in danger of missing his first game of the season as he deals with an undisclosed injury. The senior guard has started every game this season and would be a major blow to the Mustangs should he get held out.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jermaine O'Neal Jr. - Officially game-time call O'Neal (undisclosed) is listed as a game-time decision for Saturday's contest versus Duke, per the ACC availability report.

Impact O'Neal initially held a probable designation on the availability report, so he's likely on that side of the fence in terms of his chances of suiting up for Saturday's clash. The freshman enters Saturday averaging 5.6 points and 2.1 boards over 14.9 minutes per game off the bench.

Sam Walters - Late add to injury report Walters (undisclosed) is now questionable for Saturday's game against Duke.

Impact Walters wasn't part of SMU's initial injury report, but he's been added to Saturday's iteration just hours from tipoff. It's unclear what sort of injury Walters is dealing with, but he did miss six games with an ankle injury earlier this season.

Jermaine O'Neal Jr. - Deemed probable at Duke O'Neal is listed as probable for SMU's clash with Duke on Saturday.

Impact O'Neal has yet to miss a game this season, and that shouldn't change on the road in Cameron Indoor on Saturday afternoon. The freshman wing averages 5.6 points and 2.1 rebounds.

Boopie Miller - Questionable to play Saturday Miller (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against Duke.

Impact Miller is in danger of missing a game for the first time this season, but a decision on his status will be made closer to Saturday's 2 p.m. ET tipoff. Miller has been on fire of late for the Mustangs, scoring at least 20 points in three of his last four contests.

Samet Yigitoglu - 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.

Corey Washington - Probable to play Wednesday Washington (undisclosed) is probable for Wednesday's game against Clemson.

Impact Washington is coming off scoring a season-high 23 points in the win over UNC on Jan. 3, and he's been one of the most consistent scoring weapons for SMU this season. Not having the senior available Wednesday would be a huge blow for the Mustangs.

Impact Miller was remarkably efficient on offense after missing just three of his 13 shots, and the star guard also excelled as a playmaker with 12 dimes. This was Miller's second straight game with 12 dimes, and he's recorded 10 or more assists five different times already in 2025-26.
