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.
