Scores 27 in dominant win Swartz logged 27 points (10-17 FG, 7-13 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 98-57 victory over Xavier.

Impact Swartz made his second straight start Wednesday and marked the occasion with by far his best outing of the season. He scored a season-high 27 points -- his fourth straight game in double figures -- and also set season highs in rebounds (seven), assists (four) and three-pointers made (seven). After scoring just eight points across the first six games of the season, Swartz has established a prominent role in the Bluejays' offense as of late, primarily as a sharpshooter beyond the arc. Over the last four games he's made 16 of his 38 shots from long range, an impressive 42.1 percent clip on high volume. It appears the Bluejays are prepared to ride his hot hand, evidenced by his elevation to the starting lineup, and so far he's made the most of his opportunity.

Impact Swartz scored 16 points in Sunday's loss, the only Bluejay over 10 points in the blowout loss. It marked a season high for him and he's now scored 27 points over the last two games after scoring just eight across his first six appearances. He also set a season high in rebounds (five) and recorded multiple steals for the first time since the season opener. He will look to keep up his good run of form Saturday versus Kansas State.

Scores 11 in return Swartz (undisclosed) totaled 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in 13 minutes during Tuesday's 96-76 win over Nicholls.

Impact Swartz connected on 3-of-8 looks from range, closing with 11 points in his return after sitting out last Saturday against Oregon. The 6-foot-4 sophomore transfer from Miami has appeared in seven games this season, averaging 2.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.7 steals on 12.6 minutes per game. Swartz will look to build off a solid shooting night after struggling from the field to start the season.

Doesn't play Thursday Swartz (undisclosed) didn't play in Thursday's win over Oregon.

Impact Swartz hasn't logged more than 18 minutes in any game this season, but he was completely out of the rotation in Thursday's win over Oregon. His next chance to play will come against Nicholls State on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Commits to Creighton Swartz will transfer to Creighton, Jamie Shaw of On3.com reports.

Impact Swartz will join the Bluejays after a solid freshman campaign at Miami. The 6-foot-4 guard appeared in 29 games with the Hurricanes, starting in seven, averaging 5.9 points across 18.6 minutes.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Leaving Coral Gables Swartz will enter the transfer portal, Travis Branham of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Swartz will seek greener pastures after a true freshman season with Miami in which he averaged 5.9 points and 1.0 rebounds across 18.6 minutes. He played in 29 games and started seven, but the 'Canes still finished a dismal 7-24 and dead last in the ACC. Swartz was a highly-coveted recruit, so he should have plenty of suitors in the portal.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting in finale Swartz earned the start for Miami in the 'Canes last game, but will be sent to the bench in favor of the senior Kiree Huie.

Impact Swartz played in 28 games in his true freshman season and started seven, including the Hurricanes' last game against Georgia Tech. The guard averages 5.8 points across 18.0 minutes.

Starting Tuesday Swartz is listed amongst Miami's starting five ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Georgia Tech.

Impact Swartz will make his seventh start of the season as the Hurricanes shake up their starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Yellow Jackets. The 6-foot-4 freshman has appeared in 27 games this season (six starts), averaging 5.5 points, 0.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.6 steals on 17.3 minutes per game.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Getting start vs. Wake Forest Swartz is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Wake Forest, Les Johns of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Swartz will enter the starting lineup in his fourth game back from a two-game absence. The 6-foot-4 freshman guard is averaging 5.2 points on 14.4 minutes per game across 13 games (three starts) this season.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Ineffective in return Swartz (coach's decision) finished with five points (2-8 FG, 1-7 3Pt) and a steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's loss to Boston College.

Impact Swartz's shooting woes on the season continued Wednesday, as he's shot under 30 percent from the floor in five of his last six games. The freshman guard has played at least 20 minutes in four of his last five games but that will likely dip if he can't show more consistency.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

DNP Sunday Swartz (coach's decision) did not play against Presbyterian.

Impact Swartz was held out of Sunday's game due to a coaching decision, marking his first missed game of the season. The absence came following a string of three consecutive starts, his first three of the season. The freshman guard has had a solid start to his inaugural season at the collegiate level, averaging 4.5 points in 13.6 minutes per game for the Hurricanes this season. Though he was not held out due to injury, Swartz can likely be looked at as questionable for Saturday's game against Mount St. Mary's for the moment.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not productive in start Swartz ended with one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) over 13 minutes during Saturday's 65-55 loss to Clemson.

Impact Miami may be trying to shake things up in the midst of a six-game losing streak, but it simply hasn't been working out. Swartz has now made back-to-back starts but has scored a combined eight points on 2-of-10 shooting across 34 minutes, with zero assists over that span. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Hurricanes turn back to Jalil Bethea or Matthew Cleveland with a tough matchup against Tennessee scheduled for Tuesday.
