Doesn't play SundayTandy (coach's decision) did not take the court Sunday against Providence.

ImpactNo reports of an injury have surfaced, so it appears Tandy may be falling out of the rotation, especially considering he saw a season-low three minutes in the previous matchup against St. John's. Paul Scruggs has been taking over a lot of the ball-handling in his stead, while a now-healthy Dwon Odom is available as well for point guard duties off the bench. According to Jake Lieberman of SB Nation, Tandy didn't even appear to be with the team Sunday and speculation is heating up that he may consider a transfer. In any case, fantasy players should lower expectations for the sophomore guard in the immediate future.

Performs efficiently off benchGriffin recorded five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one block in 10 minutes in the 74-73 win over Providence on Sunday.

ImpactGriffin had an all-around good performance in the win Sunday. The forward once again played his supporting-cast role well. He went perfect from the floor, excluding a single miss from the line and grabbed a handful at the boards. Griffin does not move the ball around much or play aggressive defense, but he does play the paint exceptionally and will continue to be that role moving forward.

Shines in close win SundayFreemantle recorded 17 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3PT, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 38 minutes in the 74-73 win over Providence on Sunday.

ImpactFreemantle once again stepped up to lead the Musketeers to a win Sunday. The forward led the team in points and grabs and still played efficient defense as well. He has had some rollercoaster highs and lows lately, but seems to be turning a page once again. No matter what he will continue to be an integral part of their team.

Continues to underperformReeves recorded nine points (3-12 FG, 3-6 3PT), four rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes in the 74-73 loss to Xavier on Sunday.

ImpactReeves once again could not find his shooting rhythm in the loss Sunday. The forward has endured a rough stretch of form as of late that sees him converting at a low 37 percent through his last four matches. He is also not a big peripheral player and does not produce much outside of his shooting. Until he can find some form once again, he is not warranted.

Once again shines in lossDuke recorded 30 points (11-18 FG, 7-9 3PT, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block in 39 minutes in the 74-73 loss to Xavier on Sunday.

ImpactDuke just about carried the Friars to a win, but was a point short in the loss Sunday. The guard showed off his potential once again in the close efforts against Xavier. Duke set a new season-high in points and continued to help out at the boards and move the ball around with his vision. He also came shy of setting a new season-high for attempts in a game and continues to be the main man for Providence.
