Xavier Musketeers vs. Seton Hall Pirates - News - January 28, 2026 | FOX Sports

Jacob Dar - Scores 10 off bench Dar recorded 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 86-68 win over Xavier.

Impact Dar recorded a season-high 10 points in Wednesday's victory, hitting four of his seven shots from the field. He also logged a season-high five rebounds (three offensive) in his best outing of the season. He played a season-high 23 minutes after totaling just 19 over his last four games, so there's a good chance this was an outlier game and he'll return to his limited roll off the bench moving forward.

Tajuan Simpkins - Explodes with 27 off bench Simpkins closed with 27 points (9-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 86-68 victory over Xavier.

Impact Simpkins scored a season-high 27 points off the bench, his second time scoring at least 20 points this season. He made a season-high five three-pointers on eight attempts and made nine of his 17 attempts from the field. He also tied a season high with three assists and added two steals and a block on the defensive end. After putting up his best performance of the season, he'll look to keep that momentum going Saturday versus Marquette.

Adam Clark - Scores 24 versus Xavier Clark supplied 24 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and four steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 86-68 victory over Xavier.

Impact Clark scored a season-high 24 points in Wednesday's win over Xavier, hitting eight of his season-high 16 field goal attempts. He also made eight of nine shots from the free throw line. He filled out the rest of the box score well too as he grabbed a season-high seven rebounds and recorded four steals for the seventh time this season. He now sits second in the conference in steals per game (2.2), only behind Marquette's Chase Ross (2.4).

Isaiah Walker - Scores 13 in Wednesday's loss Walker logged 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 86-68 loss to Seton Hall.

Impact Walker scored a season-high 13 points in Wednesday's loss, just the second time this season he's hit double figures. He hit a season-high three three-pointers, his fifth time this season hitting multiple shots from beyond the arc. Although it was a nice performance from him, he totaled just nine points across his previous four appearances, so this type of outing is difficult to expect.

Tre Carroll - Scores 22 versus Seton Hall Carroll contributed 22 points (8-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 86-68 loss to Seton Hall.

Impact Carroll led the team with 22 points Wednesday, though it was not nearly enough to earn a win versus the Pirates. It marked his fourth consecutive games with at least 20 points, further establishing himself as the most consistent scorer in the conference. He leads the Big East with 18.2 points per game this season, a full point better than Finley Bizjack who sits in second. He'll look to keep this hot streak going Saturday versus DePaul.
