Led by Duke Brennan's 21 points, the Villanova Wildcats defeated the Creighton Bluejays 80-69 on Saturday

Josh Townley-Thomas - Doesn't play Saturday Townley-Thomas (foot) didn't play in Saturday's 80-69 loss to Villanova.

Impact Townley-Thomas was listed as questionable leading up to Saturday's contest, but the junior big man didn't take the court. He hasn't appeared in a game since Creighton's season opener, and he's not part of the rotation when healthy.

Josh Townley-Thomas - Questionable vs. Villanova Townley-Thomas (foot) is listed questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Villanova.

Impact Townley-Thomas has missed the majority of the season as he continues working his way back from a foot injury. Should he miss this game, his next chance to suit up will be in Wednesday's game against Connecticut.

Nik Graves - Eight assists versus DePaul Graves closed Wednesday's 72-71 loss to DePaul with nine points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and three steals in 30 minutes.

Impact Graves recorded eight assists for just the second time this season Wednesday, chipping in nine points on the offensive end. He did not shoot the ball well though, only hitting one of seven field goal attempts. He had a chance to win the game at the end, but his three-point attempt at the buzzer missed. He's been productive since rejoining the starting lineup on Jan. 31, averaging 11.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists across those four games. He'll look to keep that going Saturday versus Villanova.

Josh Dix - Scores 13 in Wednesday's loss Dix posted 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 72-71 loss to DePaul.

Impact Dix put together a solid performance Wednesday as he scored 13 points and hit three triples in the close loss. He also grabbed five rebounds -- his most since Jan. 4 -- and recorded one steal on the defensive end. Dix had a very poor three-game stretch at the end of January into the beginning of February, but he appears to have put that behind him with back-to-back solid performances.

Austin Swartz - Good to go Wedesday Swartz (ankle) is ready to play Wednesday at DePaul.

Impact Swartz is absent from the Blue Jays' injury report Wednesday night, meaning the sophomore guard will return after sitting out the Feb. 7 win over Seton Hall with a tweaked ankle. Prior to that absence, he'd started the past 14 games, averaging 15.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists in that span.

Austin Swartz - Sits out with tweaked ankle Swartz tweaked his ankle in Creighton's Feb. 4 loss to Georgetown, and sat out Saturday's 69-68 win over Seton Hall as a result, per Jacob Padilla of Hurrdat Sports.

Impact Swartz was reportedly planning on giving it a go Saturday against Seton Hall, but the guard was hampered in pre-game warmups and consequently sat out his first game since Nov. 21. The sophomore, who averages 11.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists, will look to return Wednesday at DePaul.

Jasen Green - Solid versus Georgetown Green notched 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and three steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 76-68 loss to Georgetown.

Impact Green led the Bluejays with 12 points in Wednesday's loss, one of just two players to score double digits. He also grabbed eight rebounds for just the fourth time this season, three of which came on the offensive end. Green also recorded a season-high three steals, firmly establishing himself as the lone bright spot in an otherwise very disappointing day for Creighton.

Josh Dix - Shut out against Huskies Dix notched zero points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 85-58 loss to UConn.

Impact It's not too often you see a team's leading scorer completely blanked, but that was the case for Dix (11.8 ppg) on Saturday. This followed a 2-for-12 shooting performance against a struggling Marquette team earlier in the week. His next chance to bounce back will be Wednesday at Georgetown.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Nik Graves - Scores 17 versus UConn Graves registered 17 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 85-58 loss to UConn.

Impact Graves made his first start since Dec. 7 Saturday, replacing Ty Davis in the starting five. Graves made his impact felt as he led the Bluejays with 17 points, one of just two to score in double figures. He only needed six field goal attempts to hit that mark as he hit three triples and made all four of his shots from the free throw line. It would not be surprising if he maintained this spot in the starting five moving forward since he was already playing more minutes than Davis and has been making much more of an impact on the court than Davis.

Owen Freeman - Available Saturday Freeman (illness) will be active for Saturday's game against UConn.

Impact Freeman will make his return for Creighton after missing the Blue Jays' last three games due to illness. The 6-foot-10 junior, who is averaging 6.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.9 blocks on 13.3 minutes per game (18 games), will look to help Creighton pull off a big time upset over the Huskies.
