Impact Freeman came off the bench and logged 20 minutes in the loss to St. John's, posting six points, five rebounds, two assists and a steal. His absence from this game means he'll aim to return against Providence on Saturday, Feb. 28.

Isaac Traudt - Nails two threes in loss Traudt ended with six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 17 minutes during Saturday's 81-52 loss to St. John's.

Impact The Bluejays' struggles against the Johnnies were countless in the weekend matchup, but Traudt's output wasn't bad considering the blowout loss. The junior big man nailed two threes and grabbed a steal, putting him at back-to-back showings with those figures. He'll look to close out the season strong, starting this Wednesday against DePaul.

Last Night in College Basketball: Arizona Bounces Back Against Shorthanded BYU

Owen Freeman - Did not play Wednesday Freeman did not play in Wednesday's 91-84 win at UConn.

Impact Freeman, who started the Bluejays' previous game versus Villanova, did not appear in Wednesday's contest. It's likely this was a coach's decision rather than an injury, considering he's played a maximum of 12 minutes over the last 13 games and Creighton was locked into a close matchup with the No. 5 team in the country so they shortened their rotation a bit. He'll hope to return to the court Saturday in another difficult matchup at St. John's.

Dan Hurley: UConn’s Defense ‘A Joke’ In Loss To Unranked Creighton

Dan Hurley was displeased with UConn's effort on defense in his team's 91-84 loss to Creighton on Wednesday.

Dan Hurley: UConn’s Defense ‘A Joke’ In Loss To Unranked Creighton

Fedor Žugic - Scores 14 in first start Zugic finished Wednesday's 91-84 victory over UConn with 14 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 31 minutes.

Impact Zugic made his first start of the season Wednesday, and that decision by the coaching staff paid off. He set season highs in points (14) and rebounds (five) in his 31 minutes of action, crucial contributions which led the Bluejays to a shocking win on the road. Zugic needed just seven shots to score his 14 points, thanks in part to his six made free throws. This performance could earn him a spot in the starting five moving forward, or at the very least a larger role off the bench.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Blake Harper - Provides spark off bench Harper had 12 points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and two rebounds across eight minutes during Wednesday's 91-84 win over UConn.

Impact Harper, who started the previous five games for Creighton, played just eight minutes in Wednesday's contest. Despite that small amount of playing time, he made every minute count. He scored 12 points, hitting every single shot he took including two from beyond the arc. This spark off the bench played an important role in helping the Bluejays pull off the massive upset win on the road.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Jasen Green - 11 rebounds versus UConn Green registered eight points (0-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 91-84 win over UConn.

Impact Green grabbed 11 rebounds in Wednesday's upset victory, his second consecutive contest with 11 boards. He also scored eight points on a rare shooting stat line as he missed all seven of his shots from the field but hit eight of his 10 attempts from the charity stripe. Although it was a very inefficient day from the field, Green's presence in the paint helped lead the Bluejays to a surprising win over UConn.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Dix - Leads upset over UConn Dix closed Wednesday's 91-84 win over UConn with 21 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes.

Impact Dix scored a season-high 21 points Wednesday as he led the Bluejays to an upset road win over No. 5 UConn. He only took 10 shots to get there as well as he hit three triples and made all six of his free throw attempts. He also grabbed eight rebounds -- his second most in a game this season -- all of which came on the defensive glass. This performance was especially shocking considering Dix played 29 scoreless and rebound-less minutes less than a month ago versus UConn in the 27-point home loss.

Josh Townley-Thomas - DNP Wednesday Townley-Thomas (foot) did not appear in Wednesday's 91-84 win over UConn.

Impact Townley-Thomas, who was listed as questionable, missed his 26th-straight game as the Blue Jays handed UConn their third loss of the season Wednesday night. The 6-foot-10 junior, who continues to work his way back to action, will have his next chance to return Saturday against St. John's.

Josh Townley-Thomas - Question mark Wednesday Townley-Thomas (foot) is questionable to face UConn on Wednesday.

Impact Townley-Thomas has missed every game since the opener, but there's allegedly a chance the junior forward returns against the Huskies. Given his utter lack of participation this season, however, it seems rather unlikely.

Owen Freeman - Little going in rare start Freeman finished with zero points (0-2 FG) and three rebounds in five minutes during Saturday's 80-69 loss to Villanova.

Impact Freeman made his first start since Dec. 7 here, but his disappointing season continued, as he again barely registered any minutes. Former starter Isaac Traudt still got a bit of run, but the Bluejays moved to a small-ball lineup with Jasen Green at the five, as has been the case for much of the season. It's safe to say at this point Freeman might be looking for a new home for his final year of eligibility, though demand won't be nearly as high as it was this offseason, when he was coming off a year of 16.7 points and 6.7 rebounds with the Hawkeyes.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Hudson Greer - Gets 4 steals in loss to Nova Greer closed with eight points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and four steals over 23 minutes during Saturday's 80-69 loss to Villanova.

Impact Greer assumed his usual rotating role in the Bluejays' conference matchup, and he ended up logging his best defensive performance of the season. The 6-foot-7 freshman hadn't produced more than one steal in any game, yet this campaign, so his four steals were a huge improvement. He also secured his best rebound total since December. He should remain an integral bench player moving forward, especially if he continues to play like this.
