Olivier-Maxence Prosper - Scores 14 in easy winProsper posted 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 72-56 win over Butler.

ImpactProsper operated with a lessened workload as Marquette cruised to victory. That being said, his 14 points trailed only Tyler Kolek (21 points) and marked Prosper's highest scoring total since Jan. 11. The sophomore is averaging 12.6 points per game this season.

Jalen Thomas - Solid line in winThomas racked up 10 points (5-6 FG), eight rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 72-56 loss to Marquette.

ImpactThomas supplied arguably his best outing of the season, being active on both ends while displaying good efficiency. The senior transfer missed Butler's first 11 games, and never settled into a rhythm down the stretch. Thomas is averaging 6.1 points and 4.7 rebounds on just 46.7 percent shooting this season.

Eric Hunter - Goes scoreless on senior nightHunter provided zero points (0-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 72-56 loss to Marquette. He also had three turnovers.

ImpactIn a symbolic effort of Hunter's lackluster season, the fifth-year senior transfer bricked everything as Butler celebrated senior night. Hunter is 2-for-14 from beyond the arc over his last five games.

Jayden Taylor - Scores team-high 13Taylor ended with 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 72-56 loss to Marquette.

ImpactIt wasn't a particularly efficient outing from Taylor, but the sophomore keeps scoring. He's now scored at least 13 points in seven straight games. Amid what appears to be a lost season for Butler, Taylor's emergence has been a huge silver lining.

Tyler Kolek - Keeps boomingKolek racked up 21 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 72-56 victory over Butler.

ImpactKolek is on a tear over his last three games, averaging 20.3 points, 10.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game, doing so with a 60.0/50.0/88.2 percent shooting slash. Averaging 18.2 points and 7.9 assists over his last nine games, Kolek has guided Marquette to an 8-1 record.
