TJ Bamba - Spotted warming up with face mask Bamba (face) was seen warming up while donning a face mask ahead of Villanova's massive clash with Providence, Jeff Neiburg of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Bamba missed his first game of the year the last time Villanova took the court in their evisceration of Georgetown on Tuesday. The guard has been a key piece of what the Wildcats do, averaging 10.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists. If he does indeed return this afternoon, it'll be huge for Villanova in a pivotal game.

Jordan Longino - Expected to play Saturday Longino (illness) is expected to be available for Villanova when it travels to Providence, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Longino missed Villanova's prior game against Georgetown with an illness, and was considered iffy for tonight's tilt with the Friars. However, he's now reportedly expected to suit up in what will be a massive game for both programs with considerable postseason implications. Longino is putting up 6.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists this season.

Hakim Hart - Limited contributions in start Hart totaled two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 78-54 loss to UConn.
Impact Hart didn't exactly fill the stat sheet in his third start of the season, but he still out-performed Tyler Burton, who was moved to the bench for the first time all year and held scoreless in 14 minutes. It's possible this switch was for defensive reasons, therefore making it unclear if Hart's new role is here to stay, but neither playing made much of a case for increased run in Saturday's lopsided loss.

Tyler Burton - Non-factor after demotion Burton finished Saturday's 78-54 loss to UConn with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) across 14 minutes.
Impact Burton hadn't exactly been lighting it up offensively of late, averaging 7.0 ppg but still shooting a respectable 45.7 percent over his previous six games entering Saturday. He came off the bench for the first time all season for this tough matchup against the Huskies, but it didn't seem to have the intended effect, as Burton was held to zero counting stats on 0-for-2 shooting. His replacement, Hakim Hart, didn't exactly light it up either, logging just two points on 1-of-5 shooting. It's tough to tell at this point if this will be an alignment that's here to stay.

Impact Dixon boomed after entering Tuesday's contest averaging 13.5 points and 5.3 rebounds across his last four games. While his overall efficiency was mediocre, Tuesday marked his ninth game of the season with at least six free throw attempts. His 36.8 percent free-throw frequency is a career high for the senior.

Tyler Burton - Subtle but efficient Burton totaled nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 72-62 win over Butler.
Impact Burton chipped in on the glass and scored effectively while Villanova's defense stepped up as a whole. Burton's production aligned with his recent output, which is yielding 7.9 points and 5.1 rebounds across his last seven games.
