Productive in double-OT loss Ajayi supplied 20 points (8-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals across 47 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 97-87 2OT loss to Prov...

Impact Ajayi recorded yet another double-double Wednesday, his 15th of the season. It also marked his fourth double-double where he scored at least 20 points. His high level of production is not all that surprising considering he played 47 minutes in the overtime loss, but it was not all good for the dominant forward. He committed five turnovers and hit just four of his nine attempts from the free throw line, crucial points that he left out there that could've secured the win in regulation. Despite that, Ajayi has arguably been the most productive player in the conference this season, ranking fourth in scoring (16.2 PPG) and first in rebounding (11.3 RPG).

Double-double in Wednesday's loss Ajayi finished with 19 points (6-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-12 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 92-70 loss to St. John's.

Impact Ajayi recorded his 13th double-double of the season Wednesday, breaking a season-long three game streak without one. He scored 19 points but was inefficient, only shooting 6-16 from the floor against an elite St. John's frontcourt. He added two assists and one block in his 34 minutes on the court. He'll look to be more efficient Saturday versus Georgetown.

Impact Ajayi put together another very productive outing Tuesday, this time chipping in 17 points in the win over DePaul. He grabbed eight rebounds once again, a mark he has hit in every game this season, an elite mark of consistency for the forward. He also chipped in five assists for just the fourth time this season, an aspect of his game that he's expanded on as of late. Ajayi has been excellent for the Bulldogs this season, averaging 16.3 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 32.3 minutes per game.

Productive in Wednesday's loss Ajayi produced 22 points (9-16 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 89-75 loss to Xavier.

Impact Ajayi recorded his 13th double-double of the season Wednesday, including his fifth in his last six appearances. He scored over 20 points for the fourth time this season and the first time since Dec. 13, but it was not enough to avoid a loss to the Bulldogs' rival. He hit a season-high three three-pointers and blocked two shots, but he committed five costly turnovers which certainly contributed to the loss. He'll look to clean that aspect of his game up Saturday at Seton Hall.
