Bensley Joseph - Pulls down 12 boards in defeat Joseph ended Saturday's 68-66 loss to St. John's with three points (1-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 12 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 34 minutes.

Impact It was Joseph's worst scoring total since re-entering the starting five in mid-January, but he made up for it with a new season-best rebounding effort while matching his season high in assists. The Miami transfer has improved his averages across the board with Providence, though the Friars have the look of a team that will continue to hover around .500 in Big East play.

Deivon Smith - Tough shooting in return Smith notched three points (1-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 68-66 win over Providence.

Impact While Smith has seen far better scoring days, he still provided solid ancillary production in his return from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury. The fifth-year senior hasn't started since Jan. 11, but his outlook remains positive even if a sixth-man role continues, as no other St. John's reserve logged more than five minutes in the contest.

Jabri Abdur-Rahim - Huge 27 points in close loss Abdur-Rahim posted 27 points (9-12 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes during Saturday's 68-66 loss to St. John's.

Impact Abdur-Rahim came up big off the bench even in the eventual win, scoring a season-high in points and tacking on a campaign-best seven rebounds. The 6-foot-8 senior still hasn't found a spot in the starting lineup for the Friars, but he's been an offensive weapon off the bench and could sneak his way in if he continues to play like he has been.

Kadary Richmond - Team-high points in win over Friars Richmond chipped in 24 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 68-66 win over Providence.

Impact Richmond came up big in the narrow win over the Friars, leading his team in points and scoring a season-high himself. The senior guard also tacked on his best combined rebound and assist performance. He's now at a streak of nine games in a row with two or more steals, providing defensive play that has made St. John's team even more unstoppable. Richmond's value for the Johnnies this year has helped elevate them to be one of the best Big East teams, and he'll have another opportunity to continue this amazing play on Tuesday against Marquette.
