Aidoo Double-Doubles in Win vs. Arkansas
Jonas Aidoo closed Wednesday’s 92-63 win over Arkansas with 23 points (11-14 FG, 1-1 FT) and 12 rebounds in 30 minutes. The junior led the Vols in scoring with a 23 point double-double during Wednesday’s win over Arkansas. The center is averaging 11.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game this season. Expect Aidoo to continue to be a threat both on the rebounds and offensively.
East Returns from Injury
Sean East registered 25 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 12-12 FT), two rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes during Saturday’s 79-76 loss to Ole Miss. East had missed the last two games due to a knee injury, with Curt Lewis getting more run in his stead. Not only was East back Saturday, but he put up his best scoring total of the year and nearly led Missouri to its first conference victory. Meanwhile, Lewis didn’t see a minute in the contest. While Missouri is a woeful 0-12 in SEC play, East continues to be a solid fantasy asset, as he’s averaging 16.0 ppg on 52.1 shooting (46.7 percent from distance).
