Isaiah Rivera - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

20 points off bench in close loss Rivera totaled 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-8 3Pt) and seven rebounds in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 85-83 OT loss to Marquette.

Impact Rivera logged his best game in his past six games with a bench role and arguably even this season. The 6-foot-5 senior popped a season-best six three pointers, and he also grabbed a campaign-high seven rebounds. This performance may not land him back in the starting lineup, but it will at least still keep his role consistent as the Blue Demons look to beat Georgetown this Friday.

Scoring volatility as of late Rivera ended Saturday's 84-64 loss to Northwestern with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes.

Impact Rivera has had some ups and downs offensively for DePaul as of late, logging just one game with double-digit points in the month of December. The 6-foot-5 senior has still had a consistent starting role for the Blue Demons this year, but he'll have to step up as a shooter if the team hopes to stay competitive against tough conference play coming up.

Impact Rivera was a huge contributor for the Blue Demons in an eventual overtime win that was projected to be a blowout. The fifth-year transfer led DePaul in points and blocks, and he ended the game with an impressive 55.6 percent from the arc. He should continue to be a huge scoring contributor moving forward, especially as himself and DePaul looks to stay competitive in a tough Big East Conference.

Fully cleared from hip injury Rivera (hip) has been fully cleared for all basketball-related activities, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Rivera averaged 15.4 points and 2.1 three-pointers made across 33 games in the 2023-24 season with Illinois-Chicago, and he figures to play a key role on offense on a revamped DePaul roster. If he stays healthy, he should open the year as the team's starting small forward.
