Connor Kochera - Season-high 29 pointsKochera closed Saturday's 93-78 win over Massachusetts with 29 points (10-13 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 25 minutes.

ImpactWhile Kochera was back in a reserve role after starting Tuesday for Foster Loyer (illness), it didn't prevent him from logging his highest scoring total with the program. It was nearly a career high, though Kochera did put up 30 points in a game during his freshman year at William & Mary. Even without his starting spot, it still appears that Kochera may be fantasy relevant in formats that include the Atlantic Ten as he serves in a sixth-man role.

Matt Cross - Scores 28 pointsCross amassed 28 points (10-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 93-78 loss to Davidson.

ImpactCross was not limited at all. While playing for more than 30 minutes, he received the green light to shoot at will when possible and delivered despite Massachusetts' team loss. Cross averaged 19.0 points across his five games from Jan. 14 to Feb. 4.

Foster Loyer - Logs 19 points, six assistsLoyer produced 19 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 93-78 victory over Massachusetts.

ImpactLoyer's previous illness does not seem to be affecting him. He almost scored 20 points and logged more than five assists, feats that fantasy managers should occasionally expect from the experienced senior guard. Loyer averaged 14.7 points and 5.3 assists from Jan. 24 to Feb. 4.

Noah Fernandes - Out for foreseeable futureMassachusetts coach Frank Martin said following Saturday's 93-78 loss to Davidson that Fernandes (ankle) will be out for the foreseeable future, Joey Aliberti of The Daily Collegia...

ImpactFernandes missed his seventh game in a row due to a persistent ankle injury Saturday. The 5-foot-11 senior has only appeared in 11 games this season, posting an average of 13.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists. However, it appears he may not see any additional appearances moving forward, as Massachusetts only has seven remaining regular-season games. As a result, expect Keon Thompson to continue stepping up into the starting rotation so long as Rahsool Diggins (ankle) also remains out this season.

ImpactLeveque had started each of the last five games and will continue that Saturday. The 6-10 senior has started 16-of-19 games this season, averaging 5.2 points and 4.6 rebounds over 17.4 minutes per contest.
