Season through Texas Tech (2)

  • David McCormack now has 7 MVP games, leading the team. He also has 2 + games to balance out his 2 – games.
  • Marcus Garrett has 11 consecutive positive games. He has 3 + games and 0 – games, but only 3 MVP games.
  • Ochai Agbaji has equally as good in conference and non-conference games. Has 3 + games and 0 – games.
  • Jalen Wilson has 5 MVP’s, including back-to-back games against Iowa State and Kansas State.
  • Christian Braun is averaging +4.18 over his last 5 games. He has 4 MVP games, 1 + game and 2 – games.
  • Mitch Lightfoot has not had a positive game since the Kansas State home game.
  • Bryce Thompson is -1.06 since returning (4 games).
  • Dejuan Harris has had 4 positive games in a row, averaging +1.10.
  • Tristan Enaruna missed his first game against Texas Tech. Highest season score is +5.42 (TCU in Ft. Worth).
  • Tyon Grant-Foster had his 4th DNP vs Texas Tech. Last game with 10+ minutes was Tennessee (14 minutes).

At this point in the season, either David McCormack or Marcus Garrett will assuredly be the team’s best player on the season. Garrett is consistent, he defends and averages around 10 points a game. McCormack has been consistently good over the past 2 months.

Below them, Ochai Agbaji and Jalen Wilson have fluctuated. Neither played well against Texas Tech on defense, but made timely shots. Agbaji could rebound better, and Wilson could play more aggressive on-ball defense.

Christian Braun has solidified his bid to be positive over his sophomore season. His rebounding and defense has picked back up, and he is due for a break-out shooting performance. The five starters have all played well over the season, but the bench has not provided much at all.
