Near triple-double Wednesday Borovicanin produced 16 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and one block in 34 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 94-93 loss to Creighton.

Impact Borovicanin nearly recorded a triple-double Wednesday, falling two rebounds and one assist short from his first of his career. It was another very strong performance by the senior until the final seconds of the contest. With his team up by two points he missed a layup with 13 seconds remaining which would have sealed up the win, and then he fouled Austin Swartz with four seconds remaining, his fifth of the contest. Swartz made his first free throw, missed his second and then grabbed his own miss and put it back up for the game-winning bucket at the buzzer. It was a tough final stretch for Borovicanin, but it still ended up being another very good statistical outing for him.
