Jack Nunge - Helps lead upsetNunge amassed 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Saturday's 83-73 win over UConn.
ImpactOne of four Musketeers with 15-plus points, Nunge's production fueled an upset of previously unbeaten UConn. Nunge logged just 24 minutes, while Jerome Hunter (15 points) logged a season-high 20 minutes. It's worth monitoring if Hunter puts a slight dent in Nunge's usage in certain matchups.

Adama Sanogo - Scores team-high 18Sanogo had 18 points (9-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes during Saturday's 83-73 loss to Xavier.
ImpactSanogo put forth solid production on big volume, but was held relatively in-check during UConn first loss of the season. The junior fell in line with his season averages of 17.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.

Jerome Hunter - Scores 15 pointsHunter logged 15 points (3-4 FG, 9-9 FT) and five rebounds across 20 minutes during Xavier's 83-73 win Saturday versus Connecticut.
ImpactHunter was a valued scorer across Xavier's last three games of 2022. He averaged 11.3 points during the multi-matchup span. Despite continuing to be a backup of Zach Freemantle, Hunter will begin his 2023 as an undervalued option fantasy managers should consider using.

Zach Freemantle - Excellent conclusion to 2022Freemantle logged 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block across 35 minutes during Xavier's 83-73 win Saturday versus No. 2 Connecticut.
ImpactFreemantle's latest double-double is his fifth as an Xavier senior. But more impressively, he was the Musketeers' best scorer and rebounder against a team that won all games it played from Nov. 7 to Dec. 28.
