Continues to dominate Marshall Bassey had 24 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), nine rebounds and two blocks across 33 minutes in Sunday's 69-67 victory over Marshall.

Impact This followed up Bassey's outstanding Friday performance in which he recorded 21 points and 19 rebounds against the Thundering Herd. After a string of solid production in non-conference play, Bassey is feasting on weaker, C-USA opposition. Through six games in league play, the 6-11 center is averaging 17.3 points and 13.0 rebounds. He's unquestionably a future NBA player that will likely give opposing power-conference teams fits in the NCAA Tournament.

Plays 10 minutes in return Cooper (foot) scored four points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), a rebound and an assist across 10 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over Marshall.

Impact Cooper missed two straight games against Louisiana Tech but returned off the bench and made the most of the few minutes he saw. Given the fact he was a starter in every single game before the injury, Copper might find himself back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game at Marshall.

Exits with foot injury Cooper departed Friday's game versus Marshall to the training room due to a foot injury, Jared MacDonald of Bowling Green Daily News reports.

Impact Cooper hadn't taken the floor in either of the previous two games by coach's decision, so it was at least a good sign that he was able to join the action. Unfortunately, he departed not too long into the game and it remains to be seen if he will be able to return.

Might not play Cooper (undisclosed) could be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Louisiana Tech, according to Tyler Mansfield of Rivals.com.

Impact WKU coach Rick Stansbury said that Cooper's absence from Friday's game against Louisiana Tech was a "coach's decision", and he is uncertain regarding his availability for Saturday's contest against the same opponent. He is averaging just 2.5 points per game as a starter this season, though, so his potential absence wouldn't affect many fantasy rosters.
