Alex O'Connell - Chips in 10 points O'Connell had 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 72-55 loss to Butler.

Impact O'Connell has averaged 12.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists during 30.6 minutes over 18 appearances this season. The senior bounced back from his sudden cold snap, a six-point performance against DePaul, to deliver a double-digit point performance Wednesday. He will look to rekindle the 20-point average that he maintained through the first four games of 2022, against Xavier on Saturday.

Arthur Kaluma - Tireless in loss Kaluma produced 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 72-55 loss to Butler.

Impact Kaluma recorded a career-high 13 shot attempts and led his team in scoring Tuesday. He also has officially squashed the foul bug that plighted his production coming out of the layoff. The freshman recorded 11 fouls over the first three games of the new year and has only committed 4 in his last three games. Kaluma has recorded over 11 attempts three times this year, each game has ended as a Creighton defeat. Perhaps the Blue Jays could've used more rebounding help from Kaluma, but ultimately the three-point shooting is what sunk the ship Wednesday. Creighton shot a piddly 9.1 percent from three-point territory. The Blue Jays will look to elevate their three-point percentage above 10 percent in Saturday's game against Xavier.
