D'SHAWN SCHWARTZ #15 - GUARD-FORWARD - GEORGE MASON PATRIOTS
Hangs 20 points on Bonnies Schwartz notched 20 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 75-66 win over St. Bonaventure.
Impact Schwartz seems to have found his rhythm since mid-December. He's averaging 18.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists over the team's last seven games against 13.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 10 games prior. He'll look to stay in form Sunday at Massachusetts.

Comes out of break hot Schwartz chipped in 27 points (10-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Monday's 77-76 loss to George Washington.
Impact Schwartz has picked up his scoring pace of late, averaging 19.5 ppg over his last four games to bring his season-long average up to 15.5 ppg, good for second on the Patriots behind forward Josh Oduro (17.0 pg). The Colorado transfer and fifth-year senior is also putting up career bests in rebounding (5.0 rpg) and assists (2.2 apg). While the individual numbers have been outstanding, the Patriots have some work to do if they wish to be relevant in March, owning a 7-7 record after losing their first A10 game. It's possible they'll have a chance to hit the reset button, though, as Monday was the team's first action in 16 days.

Career rebounding effort Schwartz had 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes in Monday's 65-58 victory over Utah.
Impact Schwartz only had one previous career double-double (three games earlier), and he set a new career-best rebounding total here, breaking his old mark by a full five boards. With Dallas Walton (lower leg) out, Jeriah Horne (7 rebounds) and Evan Battey (6 rebounds) were expected to carry the load, but with the Buffaloes outrebounding the Utes 49-to-31, there was plenty of love to spread around the box score. Schwartz and the Tigers now set their sights on a friendly matchup against California on Thursday.

He's connecting on an impressive 48 percent of his three-point attempts thus far.

Returns to starting five Schwartz started and had three points (1-4 FG, 1-1 3t), three rebounds and an assist across 18 minutes in Monday's 81-45 victory over Northern Colorado.
Impact Schwartz missed the start of the season due to a positive COVID-19 test, but returned off the bench last week and only recently resumed his role in the starting five. He started alongside Eli Parquet, replacing both Maddox Daniels and Keeshawn Barthelemy in the lineup for opening tip. Daniels and Barthelemy still saw 20 and 18 minutes off the bench, respectively, so it doesn't look like Schwartz is at full-go just yet.
