TJ BAMBA NEWS

Yanked after costly turnover Bamba finished with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 66-65 win over Xavier.

Impact Bamba caught an inbound pass with under 90 seconds to play, but he coughed it up after being trapped near midcourt. That marked the end of Bamba's night, although his 32 minutes of action still matched his second largest workload of the season. The boom appeal has been non-existent for the senior transfer, failing to exceed 15 points thus far after notching 18-plus points on 13 different occasions last season at Washington State.

Settling in Bamba recorded 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 23 minutes during Friday's 83-57 victory over Le Moyne.

Impact Bamba has notched 13 and 15 points in his first two contests with Villanova. Despite facing lower level competition early in the season, output similar to Friday is a realistic expectation for Bamba moving forward. He has connected on six of nine three-point attempts thus far after shooting a career-best 37.2 percent on 4.8 threes per game with Washington State last year.
