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.
