Scores 23 in signature winScruggs had 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assist and two steals across 37 minutes in Saturday's 77-69 victory over Creighton.

ImpactAfter a two-point showing against Butler on Feb. 21, Scruggs has bounced back with performances of 22 and 23 points. The Musketeers have now won two of their last three games to bounce back from a two-game skid, and Saturday's win against a ranked opponent is a big boost for their NCAA Tournament resume. They can solidify their status with a strong finish, as Xavier should be favored in its final two regular season games against Georgetown and Marquette.

Double-double in defeatZegarowski had 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 assists and two rebounds across 38 minutes in Saturday's 77-69 loss to Xavier.

ImpactZegarowski continues to provide steady scoring for the Bluejays with double figures in 14 of his last 15 games, but Saturday was his first double-double of Big East play. The big distributing effort propelled his season-long average to 4.6 apg, good for fourth in the conference entering Sunday's slate of games. The loss to another likely tournament team snapped a four-game winning streak, but Creighton remains poised for a high seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Bluejays could certainly help their case with a road win against Villanova on Wednesday.

Sees garbage time minutesDavis (undisclosed) had an assist, a steal and missed his only shot attempt during three minutes of action in Wednesday's 77-53 win over Depaul.

ImpactDavis has only appeared in five games this season but was able to get some garbage time minutes in the closing moments of Wednesday's blowout win over Depaul. The 6-0 freshman averages less than three minutes per game this year and won't be seeing any meaningful minutes with postseason play on the horizon.
