Darren Buchanan Jr. - Puts up 17 in home loss Buchanan produced 17 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 79-72 loss to Washington.

Impact Buchanan was the odd man out when coach Steve Pikiell decided to put Tariq Francis back in the starting lineup, but the junior forward is still capable of a boom game every now and then. With Tuesday's effort, he matched his best scoring total of the year, set previously on Jan. 20 against Iowa.

Wesley Yates III - Boost Huskies in sixth B1G win Yates produced 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 79-72 victory over Rutgers.

Impact Since coming back from a wrist injury and taking his spot in the starting five back, Yates has produced 14.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 steals over a nine-game stretch. The sophomore wing is currently third on the Huskies with a 13.4 ppg scoring average this season.

Hannes Steinbach - Another big day on glass Steinbach totaled 24 points (9-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 79-72 victory over Rutgers.

Impact Steinbach matched his rebounding career-high here with a mark he's set three different times this season. While he's cooled off from a late-January run of five straight double-doubles, Steinbach remains one of the breakout fantasy stars of the 2025-26 season.

He's now led Rutgers in points in back-to-back games and has scored in double figures four times in February. He had hit that milestone just twice before the calendar flipped over from January.
