Dieonte Miles - Limited run in return Miles ended Wednesday's 78-45 win over Central Michigan with three points (1-2 FG, 1-5 FT), one rebound, two blocks and one steal over 14 minutes.
Impact While Miles returned to the starting lineup after missing Sunday's game -- along with several other key players -- due to illness, it's highly possible that trend won't last much longer. Miles was outplayed by Jack Nunge off the bench, who racked up 10 points and seven rebounds in the contest. Wednesday also represented the return of Zach Freemantle from a foot injury, and while Freemantle didn't see much time here, he's an all-conference caliber player who was expected to start at center all along. While Miles has longer-term upside, his fantasy value will likely slide as the Musketeers march towards Big East play.

Jerome Hunter - Eight points in return Hunter contributed eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and three steals over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 78-45 victory over Central Michigan.
Impact Hunter and several key Xavier rotation players were all held out Sunday due to an illness going around the team, but he was able to rejoin the starting lineup Wednesday along with Colby Jones and Dieonte Miles. Hunter has started every game he's appeared in so far and should maintain that role heading into Sunday's matchup against Oklahoma State.

Colby Jones - Contributes across the board Jones closed with nine points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 78-45 victory over Central Michigan.
Impact Jones and several key Xavier rotation players all set out last Sunday with an illness going around the team, but the unit was back at full strength Wednesday for a throttling of Central Michigan. Jones contributed across the board despite only seeing 26 minutes in the blowout, putting forth exceptional per-minute output. He should see more playing time Sunday when the Musketeers take on Oklahoma State.
