Dawson Baker - Leads team off benchBaker totaled 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 83-64 loss to Providence.
ImpactBaker saw a season-high 23 minutes and accumulated a team-high 16 points on 7-11 (63.6 percent) shooting from the floor. The junior reserve guard also drained two of three from behind the arc while adding four boards. It's the third time Baker has reached double figures in scoring through eight games this season.

Jabri Abdur-Rahim - Season-high 21 points in blowoutAbdur-Rahim finished Tuesday's 83-64 victory over BYU with 21 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and one block across 28 minutes.
ImpactAbdur-Rahim logged a season-high 28 minutes over the Cougars, which translated to a season-high in points with 21. His high usage did likely pair with forward Bryce Hopkins being eased back into play with Hopkins logging 26 minutes which was lower than last season's mark. Nonetheless, Abdur-Rahim should keep a consistent rotating role for the Friars moving forward into the rest of December.

Bensley Joseph - Still logs 12 off benchJoseph closed with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 83-64 win over BYU.
ImpactJoseph was moved to the bench for the matchup with forward Bryce Hopkins back, but Joseph still stayed involved and played in 30 minutes of the matchup. This keeps the the starting lineup moving forward up in the air, though the senior guard should have a consistent role with the team either way.

Bryce Hopkins - 16 points in first game backHopkins racked up 16 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-12 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 83-64 victory over BYU.
ImpactHopkins played his first game of the year against the Cougars, as he's been recovering from an ACL tear that he suffered last January. The senior forward didn't put up a lot of shots on the floor with three of his seven shots going in and most of his points coming from free throws, but he did play just 16 minutes in the matchup. The former Kentucky hooper should continue to be eased back into a near full-game role as he had last year with 34.8 minutes per game, when the Friars travel to Rhode Island on Saturday.
