10-point effort in loss to Hoyas Brickus notched 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 75-73 loss to Georgetown.

Impact Brickus logged a near double-double with 10 point and seven rebounds, but his efforts weren't quite enough for a Wildcats win. The senior guard has been more of a volatile scorer with Nova so far this season, but he has come through in some big games. He'll look to put together some solid games in the upcoming Big East Tournament.

Huge 21 points over Marquette Brickus finished Friday's 81-66 victory over Marquette with 21 points (6-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes.

Impact Brickus came up big for the Wildcats on the offensive side of the ball, scoring his second-best total of the season with 21 points. The senior guard hasn't scored double-digit points yet this month, so the huge output was a breath of fresh air alongside the upset win. He's averaging 9.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists on 29.7 minutes per game this season.

Draws 13 points in loss to Johnnies Brickus racked up 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 80-68 loss to St. John's.

Impact Brickus put together his best game of the month even as the Wildcats lost big to the Red Storm. The senior guard logged a season-high six rebounds and dropped his best scoring performance since December. He's averaging 11.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists on 30.1 minutes per game this season.

16 points in loss to Blue Jays Brickus supplied 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one block in 33 minutes during Saturday's 86-79 loss to Creighton.

Impact The starting point guard hasn't been the most consistent scorer this season with Eric Dixon taking the helm, but the pair both put together solid outings even in the loss. Brickus' solid scoring performance did come at the expense of a higher-assist game as he's had this season, though balancing the two out could make his play even better in the coming games.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

22-point effort in loss Brickus registered 22 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 83-76 loss to Saint Joseph's.

Impact Although the tough loss did foreshadow some possibly tough outings to come for the Wildcats this season, Brickus put together a solid performance and led Villanova in points. The 5-foot-11 senior logged a season-high in minutes, which translated into a campaign-highest points. He should continue to be a big contributor for the team in the coming weeks, even as competition heightens to tougher opponents than Saint Joe's.

Expected to have impact Brickus is expected to have an impact for the Wildcats as their point guard, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact After spending his undergraduate career with La Salle, Brickus is using his last season of collegiate eligibility to maximize competition. It cannot get much more difficult than the Big East Conference, home to the NCAA's national champions for two straight seasons. Even though Mark Armstrong entered the 2024 NBA Draft, the Wildcats earned Brickus, whose lack of Power Five experience can be compensated for first-division experience.

La Salle transfer Jhamir Brickus commits to Villanova. Here's where the Wildcats' roster stands. Brickus is the third player to transfer within the Big 5 this offseason and the second to pick Villanova.

Has red-hot shooting night in loss Brickus had 18 points (8-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and seven assists over 31 minutes during Saturday's 76-73 loss to Loyola Chicago.

Impact Brickus led La Salle in points and assists in the closely contested loss. The Pennsylvania native also shot 72.7-percent from the field, his most efficient performance of the season. The junior guard will more than likely be a crucial offensive piece for this Explorers team in the upcoming A-10 tournament.

Returns after two-game absence Brickus (undisclosed) contributed two points (1-3 FG), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 17 minutes during Monday's 75-64 victory over Saint Joseph's.

Impact Brickus had missed the last two games due to an undisclosed issue. He came off the bench for the first time this season and wasn't all that productive. He was averaging 8.8 points, 2.8 assists, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.6 three-pointers per game, so he likely will return to the starting five sooner rather than later.

JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Brickus (undisclosed) didn't play in Tuesday's game against St. Bonaventure.

Impact Brickus has now missed the last two games for the Explorers with an undisclosed injury. The 5-foot-11 guard has started 11 games for La Salle this season, averaging 9.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.7 steals on 28 minutes per game this season. Brickus will have his next opportunity to return on Monday when La Salle takes on the St. Joseph's Hawks.

JANUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined Saturday Brickus won't take the floor during Saturday's game against VCU, Wayne Epps Jr. of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Impact Brickus had started every game this season prior to Saturday, but that stretch will come to an end. With him out of commission, Anwar Gill, who is returning from his own absence, figures to see a lot of time on the ball.

JANUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Career-high 22 Tuesday Brickus had a career-high 22 points (10-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt) Tuesday at St. Louis, adding three steals, an assist and a rebound.

Impact What's seemingly been a trend for the Explorers all year played out here; a different hot hand leading them in scoring while getting minimal support. Brickus is showing some flashes, scoring in double-digits in consecutive games and seven five times in his last eight, and he's a reasonable contributor of assists and steals. He's probably worth monitoring where the A-10 features heavily, as La Salle gains nothing by not developing the freshman.
