Butler Bulldogs News

Evan Haywood - Hits four threes Wednesday Haywood logged 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-9 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 80-70 loss to UConn.

Impact Haywood made his second consecutive start Wednesday, seemingly acting as the permeant replacement for Azavier Robinson (wrist) who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. Haywood played well with his increased role, hitting four triples and providing four assists in the very difficult matchup. Given his increased role, he should have more value during this final month of the season.

Drayton Jones - Scores 15 versus UConn Jones provided 15 points (6-6 FG, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 80-70 loss to UConn.

Impact Jones scored a season-high 15 points in Wednesday's loss to UConn, going a perfect 6-6 from the field and 3-3 from the free throw line. It was an impressive performance against a very tough defense, and Jones was basically the only Bulldog with a positive performance. It was a great way to bounce back after he scored just three points and grabbed zero rebounds Saturday at Marquette.

Last Night in College Basketball: Upset After Upset, Feat. Michigan State, Twice

Efeosa Oliogu-Elabor - Scores seven in first start Oliogu-Elabor finished with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three assists and one steal over 23 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 97-87 2OT loss to Providence.

Impact Oliogu-Elabor made his first start of the season Wednesday as the Bulldogs opted for a bigger lineup with the injured Azavier Robinson (wrist). He played fairly well, scoring seven points and providing three assists on the offensive end, including his first three-point make of the season. It's unclear if the freshman will continue to start if Robinson remains out, but it's certainly a positive sign that he was given this opportunity.

Finley Bizjack - Drops 30 in Wednesday's loss Bizjack had 30 points (7-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 14-16 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 49 minutes during Wednesday's 97-87 2OT loss to Providence.

Impact Bizjack scored a season-high 30 points Wednesday, which is not all that surprising given the game went into double overtime and Bizjack played all but one minute of the contest. He didn't shoot the ball particularly well especially from beyond the arc, but he did tons of damage at the free throw line, setting season highs in makes (14) and attempts (16). He also provided five assists for just the second time this season. Bizjack is now averaging 17.7 points per game this season, closing in on Tre Carroll (17.9 PPG) for the most in the conference.

Michael Ajayi - Productive in double-OT loss Ajayi supplied 20 points (8-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals across 47 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 97-87 2OT loss to Prov...

Impact Ajayi recorded yet another double-double Wednesday, his 15th of the season. It also marked his fourth double-double where he scored at least 20 points. His high level of production is not all that surprising considering he played 47 minutes in the overtime loss, but it was not all good for the dominant forward. He committed five turnovers and hit just four of his nine attempts from the free throw line, crucial points that he left out there that could've secured the win in regulation. Despite that, Ajayi has arguably been the most productive player in the conference this season, ranking fourth in scoring (16.2 PPG) and first in rebounding (11.3 RPG).

Impact Robinson will miss his first game of the season after landing on the injury report ahead of the weeknight showing. The freshman starter's next chance to see the court will be this upcoming Saturday at Marquette. He's averaging 6.1 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists this campaign.
