Jerome Hunter - 12 points vs. Friars Hunter finished Saturday's 76-68 win over Providence with 12 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 20 minutes.

Impact Hunter tied his best scoring performance of the new year, even as he only logged 20 minutes off the bench. The senior forward has been a consistent rotator off the bench so far this season, even in closer Musketeers wins. He should continue to stay involved at home against a tough Marquette team this Thursday.

Bensley Joseph - 14-game scoring high not enough Joseph registered 27 points (9-14 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 76-68 loss to Xavier.

Impact Joseph was as hot as he could've been versus the Musketeers, but it wasn't quite enough as the Friars got thwarted in the end. The starting point guard tied his season-high of seven three-pointers made, and he also now has eight steals in his last five games. The 6-foot-2 senior will take on Butler at home this upcoming Wednesday, as Providence looks to extend their season further.

Zach Freemantle - Stays hot against Friars Freemantle ended Saturday's 76-68 win over Providence with 25 points (11-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes.

Impact Freemantle has averaged an impressive 24.0 points and 7.3 rebounds over the final three games of the regular season, as he's been the catalyst of a seven-game winning streak that has helped get Xavier back on the NCAA Tournament bubble. The Musketeers likely still have more work to do, however, and that starts with a matchup against Marquette in the Big East tournament on Thursday.
