DJ Armstrong Jr. - Logs 17 points, six rebounds Armstrong totaled 17 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 86-83 loss to Howard.

Impact Armstrong shot relatively well on all facets, though it was not enough for Maryland-Baltimore County to qualify for the Round of 64. For only the second time this season, he logged more than five rebounds, an unexpected achievement from the 6-foot-4 senior.

Jake Stout - Won't face Howard Stout (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Tuesday's NCAA Tournament First Four game against Howard.

Impact Stout will miss a second straight game, though the sophomore's absence likely won't have much of an impact on UMBC's rotation. He's played no more than eight minutes in a game this season and has seen most of his action in garbage time. His next chance to play would come Thursday, assuming UMBC picks up a win Tuesday.

Devin Ceaser - Not playing in First Four Ceaser (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's game against Howard.

Impact Ceaser hasn't played since Nov. 16, so his absence shouldn't have a big impact from a fantasy perspective.

Daylon Dickerson - Remains out for First Four game Dickerson (undisclosed) is listed as out for Tuesday's NCAA Tournament First Four game against Howard.

Impact Dickerson missed UMBC's final 10 games of the season, and he'll remain out for Tuesday's game in Dayton. Should UMBC come away with a win in Dayton, they'd face Michigan on Thursday.

Jah'Likai King - Scoreless in America East title game King contributed zero points (0-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 30 minutes during Saturday's 74-59 win over Vermont.

Impact King entered this game as UMBC's leading scorer and was coming off first-team all-America East Conference honors, so seeing an empty stat line across 30 minutes was surprising, to say the least. Perhaps it's a good sign for the Retrievers that they can still success when their best player has a down game, but the squad will need all hands on deck for a matchup against a likely 1 or 2-seed in its NCAA Tournament opener next week.

DJ Armstrong Jr. - Punches ticket for UMBC Armstrong posted 33 points (9-11 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 8-9 FT) and two rebounds across 35 minutes during Saturday's 74-59 win over Vermont.

Impact Armstrong, a second-team All-America East player, also earned conference tournament MVP with this season-high scoring total. He'll now look to help the Retrievers make history twice, as UMBC is back in the Big Dance for the first time since knocking off 1-seed Virginia in 2018.
