Anton Watson - Fails to make offensive impactWatson totaled six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes during Saturday's 82-54 loss to UConn.
ImpactWatson's six points were well under his season average of 11.1. The senior forward was one of many Bulldog players that could not figure out how to score against the stifling UConn defense. It remains to be seen whether or not the Washington state native will come back for his fifth year of eligibility.

Malachi Smith - Has typical game in lossSmith had eight points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes during Saturday's 82-54 loss to UConn.
ImpactSmith's numbers against UConn aligned with his season averages (8.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists). Unfortunately, the Bulldogs as a team did not perform to their usual standard in this blowout Elite Eight loss. The junior guard will now have to wait until next season to see more NCAA Tournament action. The Illinois native may or may not have an expanded role on offense, depending whether or not star teammate Drew Timme comes back.

Julian Strawther - Struggles from long range in lossStrawther totaled 11 points (4-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes during Saturday's 82-54 loss to UConn.
ImpactStrawther did not have his finest game against UConn, similar to the rest of the Bulldogs. The junior guard shot just 26.7-percent from the field, well below his season average of 46.9-percent. The Las Vegas native could possibly be the number one scoring option for Gonzaga next season, depending whether or not Drew Timme leaves.
