Dailyn Swain - 14 points even off benchSwain amassed 14 points (4-5 FG, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 82-72 loss to St. John's.

ImpactThe sophomore guard was moved to the bench with star Zach Freemantle back as a starter in the loss to the Johnnies. Even as Swain was the sixth-man for the Musketeers, he still dropped 14 points, which tied his season-best. As Xavier navigates through even tougher conference matchups moving forward, Swain could be put back in the starting lineup to make up for lacking performances by other regular starters.

Zach Freemantle - 22 points back as starterFreemantle closed with 22 points (8-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 82-72 loss to St. John's.

ImpactFreemantle finally returned to the starting lineup after a three-game hiatus and one game off the bench with a lower-body injury. The 6-foot-9 big man registered his second-best scoring game of the season, dropping 22 points and tacking on two blocks in the eventual loss. The fifth-year looks to be back to full minutes for the Musketeers, and he should be relied on fully as the team looks to compete better in the Big East moving forward.

RJ Luis - Logs another double-double in winLuis ended Tuesday's 82-72 victory over Xavier with 18 points (6-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes.

ImpactLuis was a huge proponent of the Johnnies double-digit victory, and he now has logged back-to-back double-doubles. The junior forward made just under half of his field-goal attempts, but he came up especially big by making all six of his free throws in the win. He's now averaging 16.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals on 28.1 minutes per game this season.

Aaron Scott - Huge 12 points over XavierScott closed with 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 82-72 win over Xavier.

ImpactScott registered his best performance since early December, even as he was unable to land any three-point shots. The senior forward has been struggling on the offensive front before the big win over the Musketeers, averaging just 2.4 points in the previous five games. If he remains in the starting lineup, though, he should be relied on as a contributor on both fronts of the ball moving forward.
