Solo Ball - Struggling with outside shot Ball notched 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT) and three rebounds across 32 minutes during Saturday's 64-62 win over Georgetown.

Impact Ball has averaged 11.5 ppg across six games since returning from a mid-December wrist injury, but his three-point shooting has suffered. He's shooting just 20.7 percent from distance over that stretch and only 27.5 percent on the season (compared to 41.4 percent a season ago). If the junior can get that aspect of his game back on track, it would provide a bit boost to the Huskies, who already sit atop the Big East.

Tarris Reed Jr. - Bringing defensive heat Reed accumulated 15 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 64-62 victory over Georgetown.

Impact Reed was able to lead the Huskies in scoring and pick up his first double-double since Dec. 21. After battling injuries during non-conference play, the 6-11 senior has really put things together of late, especially on the defensive end. Since the calendar turned to 2026, Reed is averaging 2.2 bpg across five contests. Next up is a showdown against Villanova on Saturday.

Vince Iwuchukwu - Ramping up since return Iwuchukwu recorded 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 FT) and 14 rebounds across 30 minutes during Saturday's 64-62 loss to UConn.

Impact After missing 10 games to close out 2025 due to a medical procedure, Iwuchukwu has returned to action and has been gradually making more of an impact. He was just 1-for-5 across 20 minutes off the bench in his Jan. 6 return, but put up 10 points, seven rebounds and four steals just four days later. He returned to the starting lineup Jan. 13 and scored 11, then started again Saturday and had his best game of the season against a tough UConn front line. The senior appears to be at full strength, and more importantly, capable of providing fantasy managers with a frontcourt boost ahead of prospective playoff runs.
