Productive against Sacred HeartHarper recorded 18 points (9-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes in Wednesday's 86-63 win over Sacred Heart.
ImpactThe Scarlet Knights relied heavily on their starters despite their comfortable win in Wednesday's opener, and Harper recorded a double-double over 30 minutes on the floor. The 6-6 had a double-double on just two occasions last year but wasted no time in accomplishing the feat during the 2020-21 season.

Puts up double-double WednesdayOmoruyi totaled 14 points (6-6 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes in Wednesday's 86-63 win over Sacred Heart.
ImpactOmoruyi earned a spot in the starting five for his first NCAA action Wednesday, and he proved himself in his debut by posting a double-double. It's unclear how he'll respond to tougher competition later in the season, but he got off to a strong start in his first game with the Scarlet Knights.

Potentially serious injuryCoach Steve Pikiell said that Baker suffered a "bad ankle sprain" during Wednesday's season opener against Sacred Heart, Jerry Carino of the Asbury Park Press reports.
ImpactPikiell didn't provide a timeline for Baker's return, only stating that the team would see how he responds to treatment. His status for Friday's game against Fairleigh-Dickinson is highly questionable at this time.

Injury bug bites earlyBaker was spotted on crutches after exiting Wednesday's season opener against Sacred Heart, Brian Fonseca of NJ.com reports.
ImpactIt appears to be a left ankle injury for Baker, who recorded a point, a rebound and an assist prior to exiting. The senior will presumably be questionable at best for Friday's scheduled matchup against Fairleigh-Dickinson.
