Devin Askew - Second straight with 20-plus Askew contributed 21 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes during Saturday's 86-79 loss to St. John's.

Impact Askew has turned into a more consistent scorer in league play, as he has back-to-back games with 20-plus points, with each effort featuring a trio of three-point baskets. Villanova seems to be recognizing this by awarding the senior an increase in volume, as he's attempted 10 or more shots in five straight. While it wasn't enough to topple one of the best teams in the Big East on Saturday, the Wildcats are still off to a solid 5-2 start to league play and appear to be on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble.

Bryce Hopkins - Leads Red Storm with 20 Hopkins finished Saturday's 86-79 win over Villanova with 20 points (6-14 FG, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes.

Impact It was the fourth consecutive game with 12 or more points for Hopkins, as well as his first 20-point effort since all the way back on Nov. 25. The super-senior is trending in the right direction in conference play, and while the scoring average isn't quite at his pre-injury levels, Hopkins is shooting a career-best 47.1 percent from the field. It may be a product of the system or the fact he's shooting just 30.4 percent from distance, but Hopkins is attempting less three-pointers than his previous stops at Providence and Kentucky.
