John Hugley - Goes for 15 points Tuesday Hugley finished with 15 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 66-46 loss to Boston College.
Impact The Panthers ended a disastrous 2021-22 season with a loss in the opening round of the ACC Tournament, and as it was the trend all season long, Hugley was one of the team's few decent performers. It's worth saying he ended the campaign on a strong note, though, averaging 17.7 points per game over his final seven appearances between the regular season and the ACC Tournament.

Femi Odukale - Benched for disciplinary reasons Odukale logged six points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 78-54 loss to Notre Dame.
Impact Odukale moved to the bench for this contest due to the fact he was late for a meeting, according to Craig Meyer of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The move resulted in his second consecutive game in single-digit scoring, as well as his lowest assist total since Feb. 2. He'll presumably return to the starting five for postseason play, which begins with the ACC Tournament on Tuesday against Boston College.
