Evan Haywood - Scores 11 in Tuesday's loss Haywood posted 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 84-70 loss to St. John's.

Impact Haywood scored 11 points Tuesday, the sixth time in his last seven games he's scored at least 10 points after doing it just once over the first nine games of the campaign. Although he provided a nice shooting spark off the bench, he also committed a season-high four turnovers after committing just three across the first 15 games of the season.

Finley Bizjack - Scores 21 in loss Bizjack ended with 21 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 84-70 loss to St. John's.

Impact Bizjack scored over 20 points for the sixth time this season Tuesday, although this was the first occasion where it came during a loss. After shooting just 28.4 percent from the field over his last five games, he bounced back by hitting eight of his 16 shots from the field and going 3-7 from beyond the arc. He will look to keep that momentum going into next Wednesday at Xavier.

Lefteris Liotopoulos - Drops 10 versus Butler Liotopoulos provided 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and one assist over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 84-70 victory over Butler.

Impact Liotopoulos scored 10 points for the second time this season Tuesday as he logged a season-high 18 minutes off the bench. He made multiple three-pointers for the third time in his last four games, this time on a season-high six attempts. He also added one assist and one turnover in the road win.

Ruben Prey - Scores 10 in Tuesday's win Prey contributed 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, one block and two steals across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 84-70 win over Butler.

Impact Prey scored double digit points for just the second time this season Tuesday as he played a season-high 18 minutes off the bench. He made both of his attempts from beyond the arc and he's now shooting 53.8 percent from three on just under one attempt per game. He made an impact on the defensive end too, recording two steals and one block in the win.

Dillon Mitchell - Solid in Tuesday's win Mitchell closed Tuesday's 84-70 victory over Butler with six points (3-5 FG), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes.

Impact Mitchell made just his third start of the season Tuesday and his first since Nov. 8, replacing Joson Sanon in the starting five. He did not put up an elite performance in his return to the starting lineup, but he put together a very solid outing to help lead his team to a road victory. He recorded at least five points, rebounds and assists for just the second time this season and added one steal and one block on the defensive end. It's unclear if he will continue to start for the Red Storm, but he certainly made a case for himself on Tuesday.

Bryce Hopkins - Scores 17 vs Butler Hopkins contributed 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 84-70 win over Butler.

Impact After two consecutive games scoring fewer than 10 points, Hopkins bounced back in Tuesday's win over Butler. He scored 17 points, his most since Nov. 25, on an efficient 7-12 from the field. He also recorded two steals for the fifth time this season and grabbed four boards (two offensive). He's been somewhat inconsistent to start this season as he continues to adjust to his new school and playing alongside another elite frontcourt player in Zuby Ejiofor.
