Hawkeye sophomore forward Ladji Dembele has a total of 16 points in his last two games after scoring a total of 11 points in Iowa’s first nine games of 2025.

The Terrapins’ five starters average between 11.8 and 15.9 points per game. On four occasions, including their 83-75 win at Nebraska Thursday, the five all scored in double figures. They’ve done that four times this season.

Derik Queen, a 6-foot-10 freshman from Baltimore, is the leading scorer. He was a five-star recruit. He scored 24 points at Nebraska. He had 20 rebounds in a game against Manhattan. Senior forward Julian Reese and Queen are third and fourth in the Big Ten in rebounding.
