Seton Hall basketball: Iowa poses a big test on the court - and in the standsA look at how Shaheen Holloway has courted student-fans, who could turn out in record numbers. And a breakdown of this marquee Gavitt Games...
Skyy Clark - Seven points, six assists in winClark contributed seven points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and six assists in 20 minutes during Monday's 103-65 win over Monmouth.
ImpactClark opens the season as the starting point guard but Monday was the first time he really showed off his passing ability in the stat line. While he still might be recovering from a shoulder injury after wearing a brace in preseason, Clark still holds the keys for the Illini attack, a role he'll hold until Jayden Epps forces it out of his hands.

Jayden Epps - Scores 21 from benchEpps posted 21 points (8-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 103-65 win over Monmouth.
ImpactEpps continues to improve early in the season, playing for at least 23 minutes in all three games but increasing his point tallies up to Monday's numbers, which was second only to Terrence Shanon for the Illini. While Skyy Clark has opened the season as the starter at PG and offers a greater emphasis on passing, Epps could see an increased role if he continues to make things happen.

Matthew Mayer - Quiet in winMayer produced three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Monday's 103-65 win over Monmouth.
ImpactMayer has started all three games to open the season but he has yet to play for more than 20 minutes. With a low shooting percentage but a heavy reliance on three-pointers, Mayer could occasionally offer a big game. Until then, he might keep losing minutes to productive players like Dain Dainja from the bench.

Terrence Shannon - Reaches 30 in winShannon closed Monday's 103-65 victory over Monmouth with 30 points (9-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 8-10 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes.
ImpactShannon didn't even need very long to put up a huge stat line, missing five shots from the field but all came on three-point attempts. If Shannon can maintain his high shooting percentages, as he only scoring 14 during the Nov. 11 win over UMKC, than he could easily be one of the best scorers in the Big 10 and country.
