Impact Odom won't wind up missing any games because of the pause following the Dec. 21 contest versus Villanova and should resume his role as a major contributor off the bench for the Musketeers. The sophomore has been heating up from the field recently as well, posting his two highest-scoring totals of the season in the two gams prior to the pause. Odom also posted his two highest shot attempt totals of the season in those contests, which could signal that he's becoming more aggressive on offense. Odom has been extremely efficient from the field when he does shoot, converting at a 65.0 percent clip so far.

Impact Thompson couldn't find the passing lanes he normally trailblazes, recording his lowest assist total of the season and his highest turnover total in six games. The senior recorded double-digit points for the second time this year, but will look to get more teammates involved against Xavier on Friday.
