No. 18 UConn uses big second half to down No. 20 Providence

Jordan Hawkins scored 20 points and No. 18 UConn beat No. 20 Providence 87-69 on Wednesday night to split the regular-season series between the New England rivals

Arthur Kaluma - Quiet in home lossKaluma posted two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 73-71 loss to Marquette.

ImpactKaluma's electrifying dunk opened the game's scoring, but the 6-7 sophomore forward wasn't heard from since and ended up logging a season-low 16 minutes in a pivotal home defeat. Kaluma has strong usage numbers on paper, but if the Creighton bench is going to start getting more involved at his expense, his fantasy value could be set to take a plunge down the stretch.

Baylor Scheierman - Comeback bid falls shortScheierman registered 18 points (7-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 73-71 loss to Marquette.

ImpactScheierman registered his second-best scoring total of the month and fourth double-digit effort in his last five games, but his brief stints of effectiveness were ultimately not enough to prevent a second-half meltdown. Still, the South Dakota State is a pivotal piece in a tight Creighton rotation, checking in at third in scoring (13.1 ppg) in a lineup in which all five starters average double figures.

Kam Jones - Pivotal performance in road winJones ended Tuesday's 73-71 victory over Creighton with 19 points (7-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes.

ImpactJones had been in a bit of a scoring slump, shooting just 37.5 percent from the field in the six games prior to Tuesday's win. He put up his highest scoring total since Jan. 21 in this one, which included a pair of key free throws down the stretch to help seal the deal. Marquette is now in sole possession of first place in the Big East and will control its own destiny with respect to regular season title hopes.

Tyler Kolek - Comes up clutch in key victoryKolek racked up 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 73-71 win over Creighton.

ImpactTypically known as a facilitator, Kolek came up clutch down the stretch Tuesday with two key baskets in the game's final minute to help Marquette hold on and move into first place in the Big East. The Golden Eagles are now in the driver's seat as they seek a Big East regular season title, and Kolek and his 7.6 assists per game are a major reason why.
