George Conditt IV has unsurprisingly continued to be incredibly efficient in every aspect of his play. But the bigger story–is Tyrese Haliburton. The Sophomore guard used the momentum of his most efficient game of the season, into boosting his name near the top of every major efficiency stat there is. After being unranked in all four categories, Haliburton jumped into the top 100 of offensive rating, effective field goal percentage, steal percentage, and true shooting percentage–while he also improved in offensive box plus minus, and assist rate. If player of the year awards were based on efficiency stats, Tyrese certainly has put his name in the ring as one of the best players in the country.

Due to having only one game this week, there were not many major changes, but Tyrese Haliburton was one of the few to to take a big jump after his monster game on Sunday. Solomon Young also improved in most of his efficiency numbers. Junior, forward, Terrence Lewis has been seeing more minutes as of late and he has been taking full advantage. Even though it is a small sample size having a 33.9 PER is 25 minutes of play cannot be something for Steve Prohm to look past.

Hopefully the great performance can lead to some solid practice through the holiday for the Cyclones as Big 12 play approaches.
