Posts season high points in win Scruggs recorded 29 points (11-19 FG, 5-8 3PT, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals in 34 minutes in the 91-88 win over Marquette on Sunday.
Impact Scruggs once again shined in a moment where he was needed most in the win Sunday. The guard continues to impress in his senior year and put together a strong performance from the arc and line. He did fare well enough from the floor, but still could improve his shot taking to further cement his role on the team. Scruggs will continue to post points however and add assists and steals where he can. Until he drops form, he will remain a very viable option for the Musketeers.

Leads Musketeers to close win Scruggs recorded 20 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3PT, 8-8 FT), five rebounds and five steals in the 77-69 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.
Impact Scruggs had his best performance of the season so far in the win Sunday. The guard went a strong 100 percent at the line and added a solid floor game as well. Scruggs did not do well from the arc, but he is not known for his 3-point shooting. If Scruggs can continue this sort of production all season, it will really make way for others to produce with less riding on their shoulders.
