Ed Croswell - Perfect from floor Croswell closed Thursday's 83-75 win over Georgetown with 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 17 minutes.

Impact Croswell averaged 4.9 points and 4.1 rebounds during 13.8 minutes over the first 16 games over the season. Thursday was a monster performance for the senior who hasn't recorded more than 13 points since 2019. Croswell showed a flash of incredible potential against Rhode Island on Dec. 4 by recording a double-double but his perfect night from the floor caught Georgetown by surprise. The Pennsylvania native recorded a season-high for points and shot attempts, capitalizing on a night where he couldn't miss. He will look to follow his night full of season-highs against Butler on Sunday.

Aljami Durham - Leads scoring in win Durham amassed 15 points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes during Thursday's 83-75 win over Georgetown.

Impact Durham has logged double-digit points in five consecutive contests with this performance. He went perfect from the stripe and has shot 93.1 percent from the free-throw line over the last four games.

Noah Horchler - Efficient in victory Horchler accumulated 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Thursday's 83-75 victory over Georgetown.

Impact Horchler has shot 58 percent from beyond-the-arc in games he hits two or more three-pointers. The 24-year-old's seven rebounds were entirely defensive and prevent the Hoyas from gaining an edge with second-chance opportunities. The Friars spent five days in a hotel and had two days of practice prior to the game due to COVID-19 related issues. This victory showed veteran leadership that can prevail over odd circumstances, a good sign for the team going forward. Horchler has averaged 8.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists during 33.5 minutes over the four games since the layoff.

A.J. Reeves - Remains game-to-game Coach Ed Cooley said that Reeves (finger) remains game-to-game, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Impact Reeves doesn't have a game on Tuesday against Seton Hall due to postponement, which will give Reeves some extra time to get ready after coach Cooley said he doesn't anticipate Reeves being 100 percent at the moment. It's unclear if the team would elect to play Reeves on a limited basis while he tries to recover from this left pinkie injury.

Though he came off the bench, he proved to be a good matchup for the St. John's guards and played a season-high 32 minutes. Through his four appearances since the layoff, the Maryland-born shooter has averaged 13.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists during 29 minutes.
