Brandon Martin - Zero points in start Saturday Martin provided zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal across 12 minutes during Saturday's 71-60 victory over St. Bonaventure.

Impact Martin returned to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in each of the previous two contests. The 6-foot-5 senior started the first 26 games of the season before missing back-to-back contests with an elbow injury, and it appears he could still be limited by this issue given that he's averaged just 13 minutes per game across the last three contests. Therefore, it will be worth monitoring for any updates on his status ahead of Tuesday's matchup versus Richmond in the opening round of the Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament.
