Impact Fox missed all of the 2021-22 campaign after suffering a left knee injury and looks to have a potentially serious right knee issue this time around. The severity of Fox's injury hasn't been determined quite yet, but him missing the upcoming season seems to be an idea floating around. More information from the school should be forthcoming once he's done with all of the testing.

Pickett leads Penn State past Minnesota in Big Ten tourney

Jalen Pickett hit three 3-pointers on his way to 22 points and Penn State defeated Minnesota 60-51 in the first round of the Big Ten Conference tournament

Eylijah Stephens - Minimal playing time off bench Stephens ended Wednesday's 60-51 loss to Penn State with no counting stats in one minute.

Impact Stephens came off the bench to begin the Big Ten Tournament after starting in each of his 28 regular-season appearances since he was dealing with a migraine Wednesday, Andy Greder of the Twin Cities Pioneer Press reports. He was on the court for just one minute as each of Wednesday's starter played at least 39 minutes against Penn State. In spite of his disappointing finish to the year, the transfer from Lafayette carved out consistent playing time during his first season with the Gophers, as he averaged 10.2 points and 3.1 rebounds in 31.9 minutes per game.

Payton Willis - Scores in double figures Willis chipped in 10 points (3-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 60-51 loss to Penn State.

Impact Willis returned from a one-game absence in late February, and he closed out the 2021-22 campaign by scoring in double figures in each of his final five appearances of the year. The senior returned to Minnesota after a one-year stint at College of Charleston, and he averaged 15.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 36.3 minutes per game during his first season back with the Gophers.

Sean Sutherlin - Efficient against Penn State Sutherlin finished Wednesday's 60-51 loss to Penn State with 10 points (5-7 FG), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes.

Impact Sutherlin was one of four starters to play all 40 minutes in Wednesday's loss, and he tied for the team lead in rebounds while putting up a well-rounded stat line in the Big Ten Tournament opener. He started just four games during his first season at Minnesota and averaged 7.2 points and 3.6 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per game.

Luke Loewe - Minimal production in defeat Loewe finished Wednesday's 60-51 loss to Penn State with two points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 40 minutes.

Impact Loewe showed glimpses of production across the first several weeks in February, but he closed out the season on a sour note by posting single-digit scoring totals in each of his final five appearances while shooting just 21.9 percent from the floor during that time. While serving exclusively as a starter during the 2021-22 campaign, the transfer from George Washington averaged 8.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 34.8 minutes per game.
