Rob Phinisee - Able to do some practice Sunday Coach Mike Woodson said that Phinisee (leg) was able to do some work in practice on Sunday but isn't sure if he will be able to play Tuesday against Syracuse, Tyler Tachman of Insi...
Impact Phinisee has missed the last three games with a leg injury. It's looking like it might come down to a game-time decision for the veteran guard in regards to Tuesday's contest against the Orange.

Xavier Johnson - Well-rounded production in win Johnson provided 20 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and five steals over 30 minutes during Saturday's 90-79 win over Marshall.
Impact Johnson was one of two players to score 20-plus points for the Hoosiers during Saturday's high-scoring matchup, and he also led the team in assists while finishing second in rebounds. The transfer from Pittsburgh has been relatively inconsistent on the scoreboard across his first six games at Indiana, but he's been able to contribute in several areas.

Race Thompson - Leads Hoosiers in rebounds Thompson accumulated eight points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 90-79 victory over Marshall.
Impact Thompson hauled in double-digit rebounds for the third time this season, but he fell two points short of a double-double while shooting just 25 percent from the floor. The redshirt junior is now averaging 8.7 points and 8.0 rebounds in 24.0 minutes per game this year.

Trayce Jackson-Davis - Drops 43 on Marshall Jackson-Davis closed with 43 points (18-24 FG, 7-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists, five blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 90-79 win over Marshall.
Impact Jackson-Davis got the benefit of facing off against an up-tempo Marshall team, though the Thundering Herd had generally posted respectable marks in terms of interior defense -- that is, until they ran into the NBA prospect. If Jackson-Davis wasn't firmly on the Player of the Year radar before this, a monster performance like this should certainly do the trick. The third-year forward is now averaging 20.5 ppg this season while shooting a career-best 66.2 percent from the field.

Rob Phinisee - Sits against Marshall Phinisee (leg) did not play Saturday against Marshall.
Impact That's three consecutive games missed for the fourth-year guard, though Indiana has managed to pull off three victories with none of the games particularly close. According to Mike Schumann of The Daily Hoosier, Phinisee was spotted on the bench in street clothes Saturday, so the fact he wasn't even warming up may shed some doubt on his prospective availability for a tougher matchup Tuesday against Syracuse.

The Indianapolis Star In the 50-year history of Assembly Hall, no player had ever scored so many points in a single game as Trayce Jackson-Davis did on Saturday.

Jordan Geronimo - Paces Hoosiers on boards Geronimo supplied six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-8 FT) and eight rebounds in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 70-35 victory over Jackson State.
Impact Geronimo had plenty of playing time off the bench in Tuesday's blowout win. Although his shot volume was limited, he led the team in rebounds. Across his first five appearances of the year, he's averaged 5.2 points and 5.0 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game.
NOVEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Xavier Johnson - Productive in win Johnson chipped in 14 points (5-6 FG, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 70-35 victory over Jackson State.
Impact Johnson had limited production across the last two games and had totaled just 10 points during that time. However, he led the Hoosiers on the scoreboard Tuesday while ranking second on the team in rebounds. The redshirt junior is now averaging 10.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 20.8 minutes per game this season.

Rob Phinisee - Won't play Tuesday Phinisee (leg) won't play in Tuesday's game against Jackson State, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact The junior is in sweats prior to pregame warmups Tuesday, so it appears that Phinisee will miss a second straight game with a leg injury. His next opportunity to return to the court looms Saturday against Marshall. Phinisee is currently averaging 4.0 points and 1.7 assists in three appearances off the bench.

Logan Duncomb - Suspended three games Duncomb (suspension) is out for Indiana's next three games due to a violation of team rules, Zach Osterman of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact The freshman forward has just appeared in only one out of Indiana's three contests this year, so this does not affect the Hoosier's rotation too much. However, Duncomb will still be forced to miss the next three games for Indiana. The 6-foot-9 forward's next chance to return to the court comes Nov. 30 against Syracuse.

However, he sustained a leg injury during the victory that will force him to miss Sunday's matchup. Khristian Lander and Tamar Bates could see a slight uptick in usage, while Phinisee's next chance to return will be Tuesday against Jackson State.
