Logs 20 minutes off benchAustin (personal) did not attempt a field goal but had a rebound, a steal and missed both of his free throws during Saturday's 79-72 loss to Richmond.

ImpactAustin stepped away from the team in early January for personal reasons and missed eight straight games as a result. He was actually only away for about a week and has been practicing since Jan. 17 but head coach Keith Dambrot was adamant that he wasn't going to rush Austin back to game action. The 6-5 sophomore was a starter earlier in the year but appears to be positioned to come off the bench for the time being.

20 point effort at RichmondHughes had a season-high 20 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, four steals, three assists and a block Saturday at Richmond.

ImpactA solid return to action for Hughes, whose team hadn't played in 18 days, picking up right where he left off by scoring in double-digits in his seventh straight outing. If managers were impatient with Hughes, he's worth a look on your waiver wire, especially where center eligible.
