Last Night in College Basketball: Nebraska's Best-Ever Start Now 19-0

Jasen Green - Suffers shoulder injury Wednesday Green suffered a shoulder injury and was forced to exit the game during Wednesday's 94-93 victory over Xavier, Jacob Padilla of Hurrdatsports.com reports.

Impact Green started off the contest with a bang as he led the team with 10 points and three rebounds prior to exiting the game with a shoulder injury, which held him out the rest of the match. The junior forward will aim to be available for Tuesday's meeting with Marquette.

Josh Townley-Thomas - Returns to practice Townley-Thomas (lower leg) has returned to practice with a non-contact limitation, per Jon Walker of the Omaha World-Herald.

Impact Townley-Thomas hasn't played since Creighton's season opener against South Dakota after suffering a lower leg injury, but it appears he's getting closer to a return to action. Though he was still limited as a non-contact participant, his presence at practice is an encouraging sign that a return to game action could be on the horizon. The 6-foot-10 junior will get his next chance to return on Tuesday against Marquette.

Josh Dix - Scores season-high 19 in win Dix chipped in 19 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 94-93 win over Xavier.

Impact Dix led the Bluejays with 19 points in Wednesday's win, setting a new season-high in the process. He needed just 11 shots from the field to hit that mark, thanks in part to his six made free throws. He's now averaging 12.8 points per game this season but has upped that to 14.5 over the last six games since the start of the new year.

Fedor Žugic - Scores 11 off the bench Zugic had 11 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 94-93 victory over Xavier.

Impact Zugic recorded a season-high 11 points Wednesday, most of which came from his season-high three makes from beyond the arc. He also grabbed three rebounds and recorded one assist off the bench. He's seen an uptick in minutes across his last four games, recording 18.8 minutes per game compared to 12.2 across the first 16 contests of the season.

Nik Graves - Dishes nine assists Wednesday Graves chipped in 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 94-93 victory over Xavier.

Impact Graves nearly recorded his first double-double of the season Wednesday as he recorded a season-high nine assists along with zero turnovers. He also recorded 16 points for just the second time this season. Even though he came off the bench he played 31 minutes, his second time in the last three games where he played at least 30 minutes from the bench.

Austin Swartz - Wins Wednesday's game at the buzzer Swartz totaled 16 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 94-93 win over Xavier.

Impact With his team down two points, Swartz drew a shooting foul with four seconds remaining with a chance to send the game into overtime. He sunk the first free throw but then missed the second. However, he grabbed his own rebound and then kissed the ball off the glass at the buzzer to secure the victory for the Bluejays. It was a special moment for the sophomore, especially as a way to bounce back from his very poor shooting performance Friday. It marked his eighth game of the season with at least 16 points, all of which have come since Dec. 7.

Creighton visits Providence after Swartz's 33-point game

Creighton faces the Providence Friars after Austin Swartz scored 33 points in the Bluejays' 86-83 overtime victory against the Georgetown Hoyas

Austin Swartz - Scores 33 in overtime win Swartz finished Tuesday's 86-83 OT win over Georgetown with 33 points (12-16 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes.

Impact Swartz scored a season-high 33 points in Tuesday's win, thanks in large part to a season-high eight three-pointers on 12 attempts. He shot an impressive 12 of 16 from the field, his most efficient performance of the season while also taking at least 16 attempts for just the third time this season. It was a heroic performance by him to lead the win for the Bluejays, and it showed that his ceiling is through the roof due to his ability to catch fire from long range.

Isaac Traudt - Drops 14 in loss Traudt closed Saturday's 90-73 loss to St. John's with 14 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 19 minutes.

Impact Traudt led the Bluejays in scoring Saturday, but it was not near enough to secure a win over the Red Storm. Still, he bounced back after a very quiet past two contests where he totaled two points on 0-9 from the field across 48 minutes of action. He hit four three-pointers in the loss, giving him double digit points for the sixth time this season. He'll look to keep this momentum going Tuesday versus Georgetown.
