Stuffs stat sheet in win Williamson recorded 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds and five assists across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 79-44 win over Evansville.

Impact Williamson was doubtful for the season opener with a knee problem but was healthy enough to start, and he ended being the team's second-highest scorer while also making a big impact on both ends of the court. Deemed as healthy, Williamson should remain in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Seton Hall.

No more shoulder troubles Igiehon (shoulder) had five points an five rebounds across eight minutes in Wednesday's victory over Evansville.

Impact Igiehon was limited by shoulder troubles near the end of last season, but the stage is set for the 6-10 center to take on a bigger role in 2020-21. While it was Jae'Lyn Withers who ended up as the extra starter with Malik Williams (foot) out, Igiehon appears set to benefit as well.

Impact While Williamson was expected to be ready for the opener, it's a bit surprising that he has been included in the starting five for the contest. The sophomore forward was a consistent contributor for the Cardinals last season, averaging 15.5 minutes per contest off the bench, but could be in line for a starting role in 2020-21.
