TOBE AWAKA NEWS

Double-double in second-round win Awaka produced 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-2 FT), 14 rebounds, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Sunday's 87-83 win over Oregon.

Impact Awaka recorded a double-double, his ninth of the season, with five of his 14 rebounds coming off the offensive glass.

Awaka had averaged just 15.0 minutes, 4.0 points and 6.3 rebounds since the start of the Big 12 tournament prior to Sunday.

Back-to-back double-doubles Awaka provided 14 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 96-95 loss to BYU.

Impact Awaka recorded his second-consecutive double-double, shooting a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor while adding a couple of assists, a block and two steals. It's the seventh time Awaka has posted a double-double this season and the fourth time he's accomplished the feat since the start of conference play. Outside of a scoreless outing against Houston in which he didn't attempt a shot, Awaka has posted double-figure scoring totals in five of six while reaching double figures in boards three times during that same stretch. During those six games, he's averaged 11.0 points and 8.5 rebounds across 23.5 minutes per contest.

Collects double-double Awaka (undisclosed) contributed 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 21 minutes during Saturday's 82-73 win over Texas Tech.

Impact Awaka's status was in question ahead of Arizona's win over Texas Tech, as he was limited in the Wildcats' last game against BYU. That didn't stop him from dropping an efficient double-double across just 21 minutes. It's safe to saw the forward is just fine.

Rebounds with strong performance Awaka registered 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 85-74 victory over BYU.

Impact Awaka came one rebound shy of posting his fifth double-double, scoring 14 points while pulling down four of his nine boards on the offensive end. The junior big man rebounded from a two-point effort Saturday to reach double figures for the third time in conference play. Awaka is averaging 7.9 rebounds this season, though that total has risen to 10.2 over the last six contests.

Pulls down 15 boards Awaka ended with eight points (4-6 FG), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 20 minutes during Saturday's 78-63 victory over Colorado.

Impact After a slow start to the month of January, Awaka is now averaging 12.0 rpg over his last three contests and Arizona is 2-1 in that stretch. A generally low offensive output lowers Awaka's fantasy ceiling, but if he can continue to maintain his early-season rebounding marks, he'll remain a valuable asset.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Cooling off in new year Awaka closed with eight points (1-2 FG, 6-10 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 81-70 win over Baylor.

Impact After a hot start to the season in non-conference play, Awaka has cooled down considerably for the Wildcats. He's without a double-double since Dec. 21 and only has one other game in double figures since then. Despite serving as the starting center, Awaka doesn't offer much in terms of rim protection, as he's rejected just two shots in his last eight games.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday Awaka is listed amongst Arizona's starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against Davidson.

Impact Awaka will make his return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the Wildcats' last game against Duke. The 6-foot-8 junior averaged 10.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks on 20.3 minutes per game across his first three starts this season.

Massive double-double Awaka closed with 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-6 FT), 15 rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 21 minutes during Saturday's 102-44 victory over Old Dominion.

Impact Awaka exploded for a massive double-double Saturday, matching a career best with 18 points while setting a new career mark with 15 rebounds, including eight on the offensive end. The Tennessee transfer won the starting center job for the Wildcats during the offseason and after a slow start offensively in his first game showed Saturday why he should be a name to keep an eye on in fantasy circles moving forward.
