Jayden Reid - Erupts for 28 off bench Reid produced 28 points (9-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 79-68 loss to Illinois.
Impact Reid was removed from the starting five for the first time this season, and he responded by dropping a season-high 28 points on excellent efficiency. He crashed the glass harder than normal as well with four boards, and this was the bounce-back outing the junior guard desperately needed. It remains to be seen if Reid will return to the starting five after this outburst, or if head coach Chris Collins will keep him on the bench after it worked so well against the Illini.

Ben Humrichous - Forgettable outing in first start Humrichous notched five points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 79-68 win over Northwestern.
Impact Humrichous got his first start of the 2025-26 campaign, and it was largely one for the big man to forget. He shot just 20 percent from the field and only secured two rebounds over 14 minutes. Illinois still managed to eek out a win over Northwestern, but Humrichous will need to take his game up a notch if he remains in head coach Brad Underwood's starting five.
