Fading lately Farabello ended with two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes during Saturday's 85-62 win over DePaul.
Impact Farabello is averaging 3.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists while shooting 53.8 from the field on just 2.2 shots in 19.7 minutes across his past six games. His efficiency has been fine, but Mason Miller has become the more trusted option in a strategically shallow rotation. Farabello failing to pop in a blowout victory against a porous DePaul defense stings.

Primary reserve for Blue Jays Farabello amassed nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 85-76 victory over Baylor.
Impact On a Creighton team that rarely goes to its bench, Farabello is the closest thing coach Doug McDermott has to a sixth-man. He's the only non-starter who regularly sees double-digit minutes, and while the senior TCU transfer has been shut out in the scoring department on many occasions, he's also capable of providing an outside shooting boost. That was the case Sunday when he knocked down three treys, though it's still worth noting that this was his highest-scoring effort since Dec. 4.

Back from three-game absence Farabello (illness) produced three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across six minutes during Saturday's 77-67 win over St. John's.
Impact Farabello had been sidelined for the previous three games due to illness but was able to return for Saturday's road matchup. The senior transfer from TCU should be available to provide guard depth for the Blue Jays moving forward, though Creighton is typically a team that relies heavily on its starters.

No action Tuesday Farabello (illness) didn't play during Tuesday's loss to Providence.

Warming up Tuesday Farabello (illness) is in uniform and warming up prior to Tuesday's game against Providence, Joel Lorenzi of the Omaha World-Herald reports.
Impact Farabello has missed both of the Bluejays' previous two matchups as a result of an ailment, but he's since participated in both of the team's practices on Sunday and Monday. Given that he's in uniform and warming up Tuesday, it's likely that the senior guard returns to action versus the Friars.

Doubtful for Saturday Farabello (illness) is unlikely to suit up in Saturday's showdown with UConn, Joel Lorenzi of the Omaha World-Herald reports.
Impact Farabello, who sat out of Wednesday's game against Seton Hall, remains unlikely to return this weekend. The 6-foot-3 senior has appeared in 23 games this season, logging 3.3 points, 1.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.6 steals on 15.5 minutes per game. If Farabello is ultimately unable to suit up, he will have his next opportunity to return Tuesday against Providence.

Available during warmups Farabello is on the floor warming up ahead of Saturday's game versus Villanova, Joel Lorenzi of the Omaha World-Herald reports.
Impact It's unclear what was previously holding Farabello from practicing. He's had a consistent presence off the bench, averaging 3.5 points and 1.2 rebounds in 16 minutes per contest. If he ultimately ends up not playing, his next chance to return would be Feb. 8 versus Seton Hall.
