Aundre Hyatt - Scores 24 points in loss Hyatt amassed 24 points (8-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 82-72 loss to Nebraska.

Impact Hyatt set a new season-high for points in a game, though he's started all three games in his team's losing streak. Given his increasing production, Hyatt could be a solid option even when his team has lost its winning form.

Derek Simpson - Scores 10 points in loss Simpson finished Tuesday's 82-72 loss to Nebraska with 10 points (5-7 FG), one rebound and one steal over 19 minutes.

Impact Simpson scored in double figures for the first time in almost two months during yet another loss for the Scarlet Knights. Though he started the season as a capable scorer, Simpson hasn't been able to take or make many shots for much of 2023.

Impact Mulcahy effectively put up an inverted stat line with an impressive effort during a third consecutive loss for the Scarlet Knights. Though his numbers aren't exceptional, these are the kind of performances that make Mulcahy a viable option any night.

Clifford Omoruyi - Secures double-double in loss Omoruyi closed Saturday's 69-60 loss to Illinois with 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes.

Impact Omoruyi has scored between 12 and 15 points in eight straight games, recording five double-doubles in that time. It's good that his scoring has held steady following a season-low four rebound performance during the Feb. 7 loss at Indiana, as Omoruyi and his teammates need to right the ship late in the season.

Cole McConnell - Adds 14 points in loss McConnell logged 14 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and five steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 69-60 loss to Illinois.

Impact McConnell has scored in double-figures just twice over the last five games after reaching that mark five times in eight games during the month of January. A collective inconsistency has hampered McConnell and his teammates on the back of two straight losses but his high steal numbers help to offer more diversity to his production.
