The senior transfer is averaging 10.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game over that span.

Donovan Clingan - Easier than simpleClingan supplied 10 points (5-8 FG), four rebounds and one block in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 88-59 victory over DePaul.
ImpactClingan returned to double-digit scoring for the first time since Jan. 11, aided by a thorough team domination of DePaul. Clingan has flashed tremendous upside at times, but the freshman has mostly been a reserve in Big East play. He's averaging 5.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 12.2 minutes per game in-conference.

Caleb Murphy - Murphy's lawMurphy closed Wednesday's 88-59 loss to UConn with five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and three steals over 19 minutes.
ImpactMurphy's 22.9 assist rate is second on DePaul behind Umoja Gibson (28.9), but the backup guard was a non-factor in initiating the offense Wednesday. DePaul recorded just five assists as a team while shooting 35.0 percent from the field.

Umoja Gibson - Records team-high two assistsGibson logged five points (2-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 88-59 loss to UConn.
ImpactThis game was over before it started. Down 51-19 at the half, DePaul's offense failed to launch, and the starters gave way to garbage time early in the contest. Wednesday aside, Gibson is amid a strong campaign, with averages of 16.2 points, 4.7 assists and 1.9 steals all marking career highs for the sixth-year senior transfer.

Adama Sanogo - X-Factor in routeSanogo notched 26 points (11-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 88-59 win over DePaul.
ImpactSanogo's game-high 26 points nearly totaled half of DePaul's point total. The big man was instrumental in holding DePaul to 35.6 percent shooting on twos. Sanogo is amid an impressive, ascension-filled shooting season, slashing 59.5/37.8/78.0 on 11.8 shots and 1.5 threes per game. All three figures mark career highs, and 2022-23 is the first campaign Sanogo has attempted a three.
