Ugonna Onyenso comes off bench to spark Kansas State in 74-56 win over Mississippi Valley State

Ugonna Onyenso came off the bench to score 16 points in 12 minutes and Kansas State shook off a poor first half to beat Mississippi Valley State 74-56 on Tuesday night
NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • Associated Press
Paces team in scoring off bench Onyenso accumulated 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one block in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 74-56 victory over Mississippi Valley State.
Impact Onyenso came off the bench to lead the Wildcats with a career-high 16 points in just 12 minutes of action. He made all but one shot while also chipping in with four rebounds and a blocked shot. With Coleman Hawkins and David N'Guessan dominating the front court minutes for Kansas State, Onyenso, the junior transfer from Kentucky, has not seen much playing time this season, playing just 23 minutes total and collecting only four points prior to Tuesday.

Withdraws, searches for new team Onyenso is withdrawing from the NBA Draft and will remain in the transfer portal, Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Onyenso will flip his attention from the NBA Draft to finding a new team to play for in his junior season. The 7-foot big man averaged 3.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in the 2023 season with Kentucky, and his paint presence, if not size alone, should be enough to find him a new suitor for this upcoming year.

Keeps active defensively Onyenso amassed seven points (3-3 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 36 minutes during Saturday's 70-59 win over Auburn.
Impact With Tre Mitchell sidelined by a shoulder injury, Onyenso took on his highest minutes total of the year, and the end result was the second best rebounding total of his sophomore campaign. While fantasy managers shouldn't expect much scoring, Onyenso has been stellar defensively. He blocked 10 shots in a game earlier this week against Ole Miss, beating his previous career high of eight rejections Jan. 31 against Florida. That alone gives him plenty of value in deeper and SEC-only rotisserie formats.
