Rahsool Diggins - Racks up 46 in 3OT affair Diggins provided 46 points (14-29 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 10-12 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 48 minutes during Wednesday's 120-118 3OT victory over Fordham.

Impact Three overtime periods and 29 field-goal attempts set the stage perfectly for Diggins to record a career day for the Minutemen. This was no fluke, either, as the senior is averaging 26.3 ppg over his last six contests.

Daniel Hankins-Sanford - Returns on New Year's Eve Hankins-Sanford (hand) returned from a five-game absence Dec. 31, logging seven points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two steals across 18 minutes off the bench.

Impact Hankins-Sanford appears to have suffered the injury Dec. 1 against NJIT, as he had started the prior seven games for the Minutemen, posting 10.9 points and 7.7 rebounds across 29.4 mpg. Malek Abdelgowad had been starting in his stead, which was the case again Tuesday, but he was limited to just 9 minutes -- a six-game low -- with Hankins-Sanford back in the mix. Look for DHS to continue to grow his role with A10 play starting, as UMass hosts Richmond on Saturday.
