Scores season-best 20 pointsHorton scored 20 points (7-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT) while adding six rebounds and an assist across 35 minutes in Saturday's win over Syracuse.

ImpactHorton got off to a slow start this season, but he has scored 14 or more points in three of his last four games. He is averaging 14.5 points while shooting 43.3 percent from three-point range during that stretch and is certainly trending in the right direction.

Stuffs stat sheet SaturdayJohnson delivered 23 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 13-13 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and a steal across 35 minutes in Saturday's win over Syracuse.

ImpactJohnson didn't have his best shooting performance of the season, but his scoring numbers were aided by the fact that he made all 13 of his shots from the free-throw line. Johnson has surpassed the 20-point mark in three games already and, while inconsistent, he has scored in double digits in all but one of his last eight appearances.

Delivers another double-doubleGuerrier posted 18 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 38 minutes in Saturday's loss at Pittsburgh.

ImpactGuerrier has been very productive this season and has posted back-to-back double-doubles for the third time this year -- he has racked up six all year long. Guerrier is averaging 16.5 points and 9.6 rebounds per contest in 2020-21.

Scores 14 points SaturdayDolezaj recorded 14 points (4-6 FG, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 39 minutes in Saturday's loss at Pittsburgh.

ImpactDolezaj has struggled with consistency of late, posting two single-digit scoring output over his last four appearances. That said, he has been one of Syracuse's most regular scorers and averages 11.6 points per game this season.

Goes off for 28 pointsGriffin had 28 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3PT, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks Saturday but it wasn't enough as Syracuse lost to Pittsburgh 96-76.

ImpactGriffin was asked to be taken out within the first few minutes of Saturday's game after he reportedly "wasn't feeling well" but returned shortly thereafter and posted a career-best 28 points. Griffin's scoring measures have varied as he's posted 20+ points on five different occasions but has also scored 10 or less in three games. The 6-5 junior leads the Orange with 16.5 points per game and will look to stay hot in Tuesday's upcoming matchup against Miami.

Impactful in returnChampagnie had 24 points (9-18 FG, 6-7 FT), 16 rebounds and two blocks across 34 minutes in Saturday's 96-76 victory over Syracuse.

ImpactChampagnie was initially given a 6-to-8 week timetable to recover from a knee injury, but the sophomore forward effectively missed only two games. Not only that, but he started and looked every bit the player who recorded back-to-back 20-20 games in early-December. Pittsburgh is now off to a 3-1 start in conference play, and the return of Champagnie arguably makes them a dark horse contender.
