5-1 · 5TH IN BIG EAST
Tending to calf strain Hodges was limited to just three second-half minutes Wednesday against Marquette due to what was later described as a calf strain, David Woods of the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Hodges has been a major spark for the Bulldogs since getting eligibility at the end of January, but he put up his lowest totals of the season in scoring, rebounding and minutes played Wednesday. It's unclear if this will affect his status for Sunday's Big East showdown at Xavier.

Elliott, John carry Marquette past Butler 73-57
Greg Elliott and Theo John scored 17 points apiece as Marquette topped Butler 73-57FEBRUARY 18, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Leads team off bench Harris recorded 21 points (5-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals during 31 minutes in the 73-57 loss to Marquette on Wednesday.
Impact Harris has been rather streaky as of late, but produced here. The guard has not been efficient from the floor and has barely produced outside of the points department all season. If history is any indication, Harris is due for a decline in production once again. However, monitor his play for the chance he starts to find consistency again.

Making first career start David will make his first career start Wednesday against Marquette, David Woods of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Following silent minutes in his first four appearances, David stepped up after Bryce Nze (groin) departed the previous contest and compiled nine points, three assists and a rebound. He could see even more minutes Wednesday with Nze sidelined Wednesday, making him a potentially viable fantasy option.

Getting start Wednesday Tate will start Wednesday's game against Marquette, David Woods of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Tate appears set for his sixth start of the season Wednesday, getting a look with the starting group over senior Jair Bolden. He could be in line for some additional minutes in the contest as a result, especially with Bryce Nze (groin) ruled out for the contest.

Out with groin injury Nze won't take the floor Wednesday due to a groin injury.
Impact Nze's status for Sunday against Xavier will reportedly be revisited in the coming days, but he will at least sit out Wednesday's contest because of the injury That is a huge omission both in the scoring column and on the glass for the Bulldogs, with Nze averaging 10.7 points and 7.7 boards on the season. Christian David, Chuck Harris and Myles Tate are the primary candidates to see bonus run in his absence.

Bile, Blair carry Georgetown over Butler 78-63
Chudier Bile and Jahvon Blair scored 17 points apiece as Georgetown beat Butler 78-63FEBRUARY 13, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gathers eleven assists in loss Thompson finished two points (1-2 FG), one rebound, 11 assists and two steals through 35 minutes during the 78-63 loss to Georgetown on Saturday.
Impact Thompson was barely used the entire match in the shooting department. The guard had a season-low two attempts on the floor, but at least moved the ball around enough to make up for his lack of point production with a season-high in assists (11). Thompson has been very on and off and produces big in one category only. Thompson will need to become more consistent before he can be a streaming option.

Nze, Thompson double up to send Butler past St. John's in OT
Bryce Nze scored 19 points with 10 rebounds and Aaron Thompson scored 17 distributing 10 assists and Butler beat St. John’s in overtime 76-73FEBRUARY 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Leads team with double-double Nze posted 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal through 40 minutes in the 76-73 overtime win against St. John's on Tuesday.
Impact Nze continued his good run of form in the win Tuesday. The forward conjured up yet another double-double and had a great game from the floor. Nze did not move the ball around much though, which will limit his upside. Nevertheless, he is a fantastic streaming option, while he is in form.

Rebounds with efficient game Thompson finished with 17 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3PT, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one block through 43 minutes in the 76-73 overtime win against St. John's on...
Impact Thompson was one of the key men to push the Bulldogs past the Red Storm on Tuesday. The guard threw together his first double-double of the season and was fantastic on the floor. The one problem is, this seems to not be sustainable. Thompson is very streaky and does not come across success often. Monitor his play moving forward.
