Evan Haywood - Scores 11 in Tuesday's loss Haywood posted 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 84-70 loss to St. John's.

Impact Haywood scored 11 points Tuesday, the sixth time in his last seven games he's scored at least 10 points after doing it just once over the first nine games of the campaign. Although he provided a nice shooting spark off the bench, he also committed a season-high four turnovers after committing just three across the first 15 games of the season.

Finley Bizjack - Scores 21 in loss Bizjack ended with 21 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 84-70 loss to St. John's.

Impact Bizjack scored over 20 points for the sixth time this season Tuesday, although this was the first occasion where it came during a loss. After shooting just 28.4 percent from the field over his last five games, he bounced back by hitting eight of his 16 shots from the field and going 3-7 from beyond the arc. He will look to keep that momentum going into next Wednesday at Xavier.

Jamie Kaiser Jr. - Available Tuesday Kaiser (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against Creighton, Akeem Glaspie of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Kaiser is set to return after a one-game absence. It wouldn't be surprising if he's back in the starting lineup right away, as he's been part of the first unit in each of his 12 appearances. Through that span, Kaiser is averaging 10.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.

Men's College Basketball Top 10, Bubble Team NET Rankings: Can Anyone Catch U-M?

Yohan Traore - Scores 11 versus NJIT Traore closed with 11 points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 21 minutes during Monday's 101-52 win over NJIT.

Impact Traore got an extended run of play Monday thanks to the Bulldogs' large lead, and he made the most of that opportunity. He scored double digit points for the fourth time this season, adding three rebounds and one blocked shot, his first block since Nov. 8. Although it was a solid performance from him, he has proven to not be particularly productive in normal matchups.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Efeosa Oliogu-Elabor - Productive in Monday's win Oliogu-Elabor racked up 13 points (3-3 FG, 7-11 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 101-52 victory over NJIT.

Impact Oliogu-Elabor played a season-high 23 minutes in Monday's blowout win, so he was able to truly show off his skills for the first time at the collegiate level. He scored 13 points on just three field goal attempts and also recorded season highs in rebounds (seven, three offensive) and assists (four). He has found a solid role in the Bulldogs' rotation in December and will look to hold onto that as the season fully transitions into conference play.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finley Bizjack - Scores 11 Monday Bizjack racked up 11 points (3-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 101-52 victory over NJIT.

Impact After two consecutive performances with seven or fewer points, Bizjack returned to double digits in Monday's win. It wasn't pretty though as he made just three of his nine field goal attempts and went 2-7 from three. Over his last three games he's shooting 6-28 from the field and 5-21 from three, a very disappointing stretch after a red-hot start to the season. He'll look to rediscover his form next Tuesday at Creighton.
