Impact Spears was one of the Seminoles' best players Thursday, but his efforts were not enough to get past a dominant UNC team. It remains to be seen if Florida State will end up participating in one of the end-of-season tournaments, but if that's not the case, then Spears would end his junior year with averages of 10.3 points, 2.2 assists and 1.7 rebounds per contest.

Impact Spears will leave Georgetown after spending the 2022-23 season with the Hoyas. The 6-foot-3 sophomore started in all 32 games this season, averaging 16 points, three rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.1 steals on 37.2 minutes per game.

Only one that gets off the bus Spears racked up 17 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 80-48 loss to Villanova.

Impact No other Georgetown player supplied more than eight points. Spears first season in a power conference should be viewed positively given the dearth of talent around him. Spears shot just 40.0 percent on 14.8 shots per game this season, but he boomed for some impressive outings and consistently remained unabashed.

Shines in another blowout loss Spears rang up 26 points and four assists in Sunday's 88-68 loss to Providence.

Impact The sophomore leads Georgetown in points and assists, one of the few reasons to check out the Big East's worst team. Spears was only hitting 26.7 percent of his 3-point attempts entering this game, but he connected on 4-for-7 against the Friars.

Production falling off Spears closed Sunday's 68-62 win over Butler with seven points (2-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and four steals over 36 minutes.

Impact While the Hoyas were able to pick up their first road conference win since the 2020-21 season, Spears remains in the midst of a shooting slump. Since the calendar turned to February, Spears has averaged just 9.8 ppg on 26.6 percent shooting -- a far cry from his season averages of 15.6 points and 40.1 percent shooting.

Faceguarded and erased Spears closed Saturday's 68-62 loss to UConn with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes. He had one turnover.

Impact In a remarkable display of defense, Spears was clamped by Andre Jackson Saturday. Spears lack of involvement is also a testament to the stagnant and overall poor Georgetown offense. Speculatively, Spears could be dealing with nagging injury, but consider Saturday an extreme aberration.
