The William B. Finneran Pavilion, Bryn Mawr, PA
Eric Dixon - Carries Nova in second halfDixon supplied 23 points (6-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 9-9 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 68-66 win over UConn.
ImpactThe nation's leading scorer at 25.7 ppg, Dixon didn't have the most efficient shooting night, but his high shot volume and trips to the charity stripe still resulted in a quality day for fantasy managers in points leagues. The end result was a resume-building victory for the Wildcats, who improve to 4-1 in Big East play after knocking off the defending national champions. Dixon, who was named to the Wooden Award watchlist recently, hasn't dropped off a bit in conference play, as he's posted 25.6 ppg through those five games.

Wooga Poplar - Continues scoring tear over UConnPoplar finished with 18 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 68-66 win over UConn.
ImpactPoplar has been on a roll as of late, scoring double-digit points in seven of Nova's last eight games, and 17 or more in all but two of those matchups. The senior guard's efforts were no different against a tough Huskies squad, as he popped three shots behind the arc and ended with 18 points in the eventual two-point victory margin. If he continues to play like he's been playing alongside star forward Eric Dixon, the Wildcats could be a legit Big East contender moving forward.

Jaylin Stewart - 14 points in third start of seasonStewart finished Wednesday's 68-66 loss to Villanova with 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 32 minutes.
ImpactWith Liam McNeely (ankle) out for his second-game straight with an injury that will keep him sidelined for at least a couple weeks, Stewart was bumped into the starting lineup for the outing versus the Wildcats. Although the Huskies didn't get the outcome they hoped for against Villanova, the sophomore forward put together a big game, tailing just Solo Ball in points scored and racking up two blocks. Stewart's performance should keep him in the starting lineup as long as McNeely is sidelined, which could be a hefty amount of games moving forward.
