Shows defensive prowess in loss Jocius registered 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and three blocks across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 77-53 loss to Dayton.
Impact Jocius helped La Salle on both ends of the floor, as he shot efficiently while also leading the team in rebounds and blocks. The 6'10, 260-pound freshman has now scored 10 points in two straight games, more than doubling his season average (4.7). The Lithuanian forward will look to extend that streak against Loyola-Chicago on Saturday.

Impact Jocius returned to the court following a three-game absence with an undisclosed issue. The 6-foot-10 freshman came off the bench after starting the two games prior to his hiatus, though he still played near his season average for minutes (17.7). Jocius has now averaged 5.1 points and 3.3 rebounds across 13 games this season.

Misses second straight Jocius did not take the court in Wednesday's 78-77 victory over Massachusetts.
Impact Jocius was spotted warming up with the team despite missing a Jan. 7 contest against Rhode Island due to an undisclosed issue, but he ultimately ended up missing his second consecutive game. Mamadou Doucoure ended up getting his second consecutive start at center, though Fousseyni Drame also saw meaningful minutes at the position. That status of Jocius for Saturday's tilt against Fordham is currently unknown.
