Shows up empty in loss Harris recorded four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-2 FT), one assist and one steal in 21 minutes in the 72-60 loss to Connecticut on Saturday.

Impact Harris struggled in the loss Saturday after having a rather good stretch of form. The guard was not given many chances to shoot, but only sank one of four attempts and did not produce anything else outside of it. He will not be viable, until he can return to form.

Leads team in points in loss Nze recorded 18 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3PT, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 36 minutes in the 72-60 loss to Connecticut on Saturday.

Impact Nze had his best showing of the season thus far in the loss Saturday. The forward bested his season-high of 14 points set at the beginning of the season and also showed his dominance at the boards. He did not offer much playmaking for the Bulldogs, but still produced enough to get his team within a shout or two. He will continue to remain viable and will be an added plus, if he can start moving the ball around too.

Has another strong performance Harris recorded 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3PT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 32 minutes in the 63-55 win over Georgetown on Wednesday.

Impact Harris was the leader of Butler in their win Wednesday. The guard led the team in points and assists and followed that up with three grabs. He has been an excellent addition to Butler's team this year and continues to impress in his first run with the Bulldogs.

Dressed but no action David (knee) did not take the court Wednesday against Georgetown.

Impact While David was presumably available according to earlier reports, the senior ultimately did not see any action. He averaged double-digit minutes in both his sophomore and junior seasons with the Bulldogs, so he'll presumably get some usage in a depth capacity once Butler decides he's in the clear. David's next chance to debut will be Saturday against UConn.

Eight points in first game back Thompson had eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 30 minutes in Wedneday's 63-55 victory over Georgetown.

Impact After five games on the sidelines, Thompson returned to the starting five to run the Butler offense and help the Bulldogs snap a two-game conference losing streak. While the scoring and assist marks were season lows, the senior likely just needed some time to shake off the rust. He'll have to be even sharper Saturday with a tough matchup against UConn on tap.

Coming off bench again Tate will come off the bench in Wednesday's game against Georgetown.

Impact With Aaron Thompson making his return from a knee injury after missing five games, Tate will be the one who will head to the bench. He should still get his opportunities, however, as Tate is averaging 9.4 points and 3.0 assists per game.

Will start in return Thompson will start Wednesday's game against Georgetown.

Impact Thompson's return was confirmed earlier in the day and his inclusion in the starting five may be a good sign that he's in line for a large role. Still, it's unclear if he will be able to handle a full workload after three weeks on the sidelines due to a knee issue.

Will play Wednesday Thompson (knee) will take the floor Wednesday versus Georgetown.

Impact Thompson hasn't appeared in a game since Dec. 16 due to a knee issue but appears set to reappear for the Bulldogs as the team looks to bounce back from a pair of Big East losses. It's possible the senior point guard won't take on a full workload during his first taste of action in three weeks, but Thompson should be a big part of the game plan when he's up to speed.

Will be available Wednesday David (knee) will dress for Wednesday's game against Georgetown, David Woods of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact David will make his season debut after recovering from a torn ACL last January. As for how much he will play, that seems very much up in the air. The coaching staff will probably wait a couple weeks for David to get his legs under him before turning him loose.

Remains questionable Thompson (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Georgetown, David Woods of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Thompson has been questionable for the last five contests with this knee injury, but has yet to suit up. The senior point guard has only played in two games this season and is averaging 17.5 points and 5.0 assists per game.
