Tristen Newton - Hot scoring continuesNewton produced 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 68-62 victory over Georgetown.
Primo Spears - Faceguarded and erasedSpears closed Saturday's 68-62 loss to UConn with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes. He had one turnover.
ImpactIn a remarkable display of defense, Spears was clamped by Andre Jackson Saturday. Spears lack of involvement is also a testament to the stagnant and overall poor Georgetown offense. Speculatively, Spears could be dealing with nagging injury, but consider Saturday an extreme aberration.

Bradley Ezewiro - Makes impact off benchEzewiro recorded six points (1-1 FG, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and one block over 12 minutes during Saturday's 68-62 loss to UConn.
ImpactEzewiro matched his season highs with six points and three offensive rebounds. Buoyed by his foul-drawing physicality, Ezewiro has yet to meaningfully crack Georgetown's rotation.

Alex Karaban - Clutch in winKaraban ended with 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 68-62 win over Georgetown.
ImpactKaraban knocked down two clutch threes in the final minutes to regain, and secure, the lead for UConn. The freshman is closing games for coach Dan Hurley, earning 30.7 minutes per game over his last six contests. He's been a valuable sniper, connecting on 38.4 percent of 4.7 three-point attempts per game.

Brandon Murray - Keeps it closeMurray racked up 21 points (8-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 68-62 loss to UConn. He...
ImpactMurray scored a game-high 21 points, including pouring in 14 second-half points prior to fouling out. Murray has flashed impressive scoring abilities this season, but his turnover frequency (3.3:2.9 AST/TO ratio) is counterproductive. He's helped balance his turnovers with 10 steals over his last four games.
