Leads team in points off benchDunn recorded 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3PT, 0-2 FT), two rebounds one assist and one steal in 29 minutes in the 69-61 loss to Xavier on Wednesday.

ImpactDunn had his best performance of the season in the loss Wednesday. The guard easily led the Red Storm in what was a woeful shooting night at best for the team. Not a single person went 50 percent from the floor besides Dunn and although he produced enough points to keep the game close, he did not add enough peripherals to bolster his performance. With his minutes off and on, until he sees more consistent time and proves he can produce, look elsewhere.

Taking leave of absenceCaraher is taking a leave of absence from the St. John's program due to personal reasons, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.

ImpactSpecifics of the junior's departure were not disclosed, but he appears to have left on good terms, leaving the door open for a return down the road or in a future season. Caraher is seeing only about a third of the playing time he did last season, and has effectively sat out four of his last five games. The few minutes he was getting will most likely be distributed evenly to players like Vince Cole and Marcus Earlington.

Apparent knee injury WednesdayStanley appeared to suffer a knee injury in Wednesday's victory over St. John's, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

ImpactWhile initial reports didn't look good, Baum later added that Stanley eventually returned to the court and gave coach Travis Steele the "thumbs up" sign. Stanley, a transfer from Hampton, has provided the Muskateers with forward depth in Big East play, averaging 9.8 mpg through his first four games of the year. His playing time appeared to be on the rise, but he should now be considered questionable for Sunday's showdown with Providence.
