Last Night in College Basketball: Nebraska's Best-Ever Start Now 19-0

Jovan Milicevic - Scores 15 in Wednesday's loss Milicevic fouled out of Wednesday's 94-93 loss to Creighton after recording 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in 28 minutes.

Impact Milicevic had another solid scoring outing, his third consecutive game with at least 14 points. He shot 60 percent from the field and hit one of his two three-point attempts. He picked up his fifth foul with under two minutes left in the second half, so he was forced to miss the final stretch of the game where his team let the game slip away. He's now fouled out in four of the last five games, a concerning trend considering he only fouled out once across the first 14 games of the season.

Tre Carroll - Drops 29 in close loss Carroll ended Wednesday's 94-93 loss to Creighton with 29 points (12-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes.

Impact Carroll scored 29 points in his second straight game Wednesday, this time doing it on elite efficiency. He only missed two of his 14 attempts from the field, easily his best shooting performance of the season. Even though he and the Musketeers let the game slip away at the buzzer, Carroll proved once again to be an elite scoring forward. He's now averaging 17.3 points per game this season and is averaging 21.0 points per game since the start of 2026.

Filip Borovicanin - Near triple-double Wednesday Borovicanin produced 16 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and one block in 34 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 94-93 loss to Creighton.

Impact Borovicanin nearly recorded a triple-double Wednesday, falling two rebounds and one assist short from his first of his career. It was another very strong performance by the senior until the final seconds of the contest. With his team up by two points he missed a layup with 13 seconds remaining which would have sealed up the win, and then he fouled Austin Swartz with four seconds remaining, his fifth of the contest. Swartz made his first free throw, missed his second and then grabbed his own miss and put it back up for the game-winning bucket at the buzzer. It was a tough final stretch for Borovicanin, but it still ended up being another very good statistical outing for him.

Malik Messina-Moore - Starting vs. Creighton Messina-Moore (undisclosed) is included in the starting rotation for Wednesday's clash with Creighton, Jon Walker of the Omaha World-Herald reports.

Impact Messina-Moore had been dealing with an injury of some sort and was questionable leading up to the contest. He will now look to make an impact for Xavier as he has averaged 10.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists on 31.6 minutes across 18 starts this year.

All Wright - Quiet again Wednesday Wright ended Wednesday's 89-75 win over Butler with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes.

Impact Wright made his second consecutive start Wednesday, but he once again struggled to have an impact. He scored five points, his most since Dec. 12, which sums up just how unimpactful he's been over the last month. Even though he's consistently in the starting lineup over Roddie Anderson, Anderson is logging more minutes and is making much more of an impact than Wright.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Roddie Anderson III - Scores 11 in Wednesday's win Anderson finished Wednesday's 89-75 victory over Butler with 11 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals over 29 minutes.

Impact Anderson came off the bench in his second straight game and once again made an impact. He scored double digit points in his seventh straight game, althoguh he needed 14 field goal attempts to hit that mark versus Butler. He also grabbed a season-high seven rebounds and recorded multiple steals for the ninth time this season. Even though All Wright has taken his place in the starting five for now, Anderson still logs more minutes and has had a much larger impact than his teammate despite coming off the bench.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Malik Messina-Moore - Records nine assists Wednesday Messina-Moore logged 15 points (5-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 89-75 win over Butler.

Impact Messina-Moore nearly recorded his first double-double of the season Wednesday with a season-high nine assists versus Butler. He also scored 15 points, although he did not shoot the ball well, especially from beyond the arc. He has now scored at least 14 points in seven consecutive games and is averaging 16.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals over that stretch which began when conference play started.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Tre Carroll - Excellent in win over Butler Carroll totaled 29 points (12-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, five blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 89-75 win over Butler.

Impact Carroll put together his best performance of the season Wednesday as he led the Musketeers to a win over the rival Bulldogs. He scored 29 points and grabbed nine boards, both of which marked only the second time he's hit those figures. He was also dominant on the defensive end, recording a season-high five blocks and recording one steal in the win. The only downside to his performance was that he did not record an assist for the first time this season, but it's fair to say he more than made up for it on both ends of the court.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Isaiah Walker - Ready to roll vs. Butler Walker (undisclosed) is absent from Xavier's injury report on Wednesday ahead of the game against Butler.

Impact Walker is set to make his return for the Musketeers after missing one game, a Jan. 10 win over Providence. The Belmont transfer averages 3.9 points and 2.3 rebounds off the bench this season.
