Ben Gold - Booms despite lossGold logged 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 87-72 loss to UConn.
ImpactGold emerged after scoring just four points across 41 minutes over Marquette's last six games. It's unclear how long of a leash Gold will be given down the stretch, but the 6-foot-11 freshman has some pedigree and should be monitored.

Tristen Newton - Second triple-double of seasonNewton totaled 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 87-72 victory over Marquette.
ImpactThis marked Newton's second triple-double of the season. His first came back on Nov. 15 against Buffalo when he had 22 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. UConn hasn't been the same team they were the first couple months of the season, but this play by Newton helped the Huskies get a big win over another top team in the Big East. Over the last four games, Newton is now putting up 17.8 points, 6.3 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 steals, and 1.8 three-pointers per contest. UConn will need another big game from the ECU transfer if they hope to pull out a road win on Saturday over Creighton.
