Impact Minaya has averaged 7.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists during 38.4 minutes over the last 10 games. He tied his season-high for rebounds in Sunday's victory. The senior will seek to help the Friars extend their current four-game win streak against Vilanova on Tuesday.

Impact Minaya was one of four Friars to record double-digit points in Sunday's victory. He has averaged 9.7 points and seven rebounds during 38 minutes over the last nine games. The senior committed four turnovers against St. John's on Tuesday but snuffed out any doubts of his ball management ability by recording just one in Sunday's 19-point rout.

Leading rebounder in win Minaya finished Sunday's 69-62 win over Butler with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists over 40 minutes.
Impact Minaya has been dedicated to the boards since the layoff, averaging eight rebounds over the last five games. The senior was relentless on the offensive glass and tied a season-high for offensive rebounds by recording four. He will look to stay hungry against Xavier on Wednesday who is coming off a 75-64 loss to Marquette.

Logs first double-double Minaya contributed 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 38 minutes during Saturday's 70-53 win over DePaul.
Impact Minaya has started the last four games for the Friars, but the results have been inconsistent. He's had his two best scoring totals of the year over that stretch, but he also has games with just two and zero points. It's possible he's turned a corner given that this performance occurred with the team fully healthy, though for now, his value is likely limited to deeper and Big East-only formats.

Records season-high for points Minaya finished Saturday's 68-53 win over Central Connecticut State with 14 points (6-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals over 30 minutes.
Impact Minaya was one of three Friars to record double-digit points in his first start since his illness-related absence. His perfect night from the floor displayed patience on offense. While team-leading three steals showed tenacity on defense. In his last four appearances, the senior has averaged seven points and 4.3 rebounds during 28.5 minutes.

28 bench minutes in return Minaya notched six points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 72-68 victory over Texas Tech.
Impact Minaya had worked his way into the starting lineup for two games before a non-COVID illness forced him to sit out last Saturday, but he was back in action Wednesday as expected. The senior's output wasn't the greatest, but he still saw more minutes than any other reserve, as well as three Providence starters. He'll continue in his quest to regain a starting spot Saturday against Rhode Island.

Likely back against Texas Tech Minaya (illness) is expected to play Wednesday against Texas Tech after returning to practice earlier in the week, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Providence will be getting a pair of contributors back in the fold Wednesday with Minaya and Brycen Goodine set to return. Minaya missed Saturday's game against St. Peter's but had started the previous two games and made an impact on the defensive end with three steals and two blocks in that span.

Smiths lead No. 20 Missouri to 93-78 win over South Carolina
Dru Smith and Mark Smith helped No. 20 Missouri build a large first-half lead and snap a three-game losing streak with a 93-78 victory over South CarolinaFEBRUARY 20, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Struggles with shot in return Minaya (head) posted five points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3PT, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, an assist and a block over 27 minutes Saturday versus Missouri.
Impact Minaya didn't start in his return from a one-game absence due to a head injury but played around his usual minutes. He was a little rusty shooting the ball, connecting just one of his five attempts from the field while coming up empty from deep. Still, assuming the junior didn't suffer any setbacks, he seems a good bet to rejoin the starting lineup Wednesday against Mississippi State.
