Bounces back in OTTate had 15 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 39 minutes in Saturday's 70-66 victory over Creighton.

ImpactTate had scored a combined 13 points in his previous three games and had been averaging 8.5 ppg in Big East play heading into Saturday. The freshman guard ended up with his first career double-double, and the 6-0 guard is now averaging an impressive 3.7 rpg on the year. He's a player to keep on the radar, and could be in for a massive value boost next season if Butler ends up moving on from seniors Aaron Thompson and Jair Bolden.

Carries Bluejays in scoringMahoney led all scorers with 29 points (10-22 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 4-6 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, three steals and two assists in Saturday's 70-66 OT loss to Butler.

ImpactWith former leading scorer Marcus Zegarowski sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Mahoney took over the responsibility of running the offense. While Creighton fell just short in overtime, Mahoney had arguably his best fantasy day of the year and highest point total while a member of the Bluejays. Look for him to continue carrying the load for as long as Zegarowski remains out.

Plays through ankle troubleGolden (ankle) had two points (0-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes in Saturday's 70-66 victory over Creighton.

ImpactGolden played through an ankle injury suffered this week against St. John's, but ended up logging his second-lowest minutes total of the season while struggling from the field. As long as the ankle doesn't continue to bother him, Golden will get a chance to bounce back this week against a winless DePaul team.
