Stefan Vaaks - Season-high 21 points off bench Vaaks closed Saturday's 97-84 loss to Xavier with 21 points (7-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes.

Impact Vaaks set a new season high with 21 points in Saturday's loss, simultaneously extending his streak of scoring double digits in every game so far this season. He took 10 three-pointers for the sixth time this season, burying three of them for the third time in his last four contests. Although he came off the bench in his fourth straight contest, he's playing 31 minutes per game over that stretch so he's still playing starter-level minutes.

Jaylin Sellers - Scores an inefficient 12 points Sellers produced 12 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 21 minutes during Saturday's 97-84 loss to Xavier.

Impact Sellers scored double digit points again Saturday, something he has done in 15 of 16 games so far this season. He shot poorly again though and is now shooting just 36.5 percent from the field across his last five contests despite averaging 15.4 points per game over that stretch. While he's still producing, he will need to be more efficient to help get the Friars out of this losing slump.

Jason Edwards - Scores 16 Saturday Edwards produced 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes during Saturday's 97-84 loss to Xavier.

Impact After three consecutive quiet performances, Edwards bounced back a bit Saturday with a solid outing in the road loss. Although he only shot 40 percent from the field and 25 percent from three, he still scored 16 points for just the third time since the start of December. He also grabbed five rebounds and provided four assists, just the third time this season he's recorded four of each in the same contest.

Duncan Powell - Scores 12 in start Powell contributed 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Saturday's 97-84 loss to Xavier.

Impact Powell replaced the injured Jamier Jones (undisclosed) in the starting five for Saturday's contest, his first start since he started the first two games of this season. He made an impact with his increased role, scoring double digit points and hitting multiple three-pointers in his second straight contest. He also grabbed two rebounds and blocked one shot on the defensive end. It's unclear how serious Jones' injury is, but if he continues to miss time Powell will continue to have an increased role.
