WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS NEWS

Camron Justice - Leads red-hot WKU with 27 Justice supplied 27 points (12-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 86-72 win over Marshall.

Impact Justice has been a reliable scorer all season long for the Hilltoppers, as he's averaged 14.9 ppg on the year, good for second on the team behind Dayvion McKnight (16.1 ppg). The production has stepped up of late, however, as Justice has scored 18.3 ppg over his last nine games, and it's no coincidence WKU has emerged victorious in eight of those contests. The Hilltoppers may be out of the running for a C-USA regular season title, but this is a talented team that would surprise few if they were able to steal a tournament bid via the conference tournament.

Impact Frampton was forced to miss the previous game due to an illness, but came back on Wednesday and played big minutes. The senior is now averaging 9.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.1 three-pointers per contest. A rematch with Marshall is on tap on Saturday.

Jaylen Butz - Returns to action Saturday Butz (foot) came off the bench and scored one point (1-2 FT) while playing four minutes off the bench Saturday against Middle Tennessee.

Impact Butz finally stepped on the court for the first time since Jan. 27, but his impact was limited once again. He hasn't started a game since Nov. 19 and has played more than 15 minutes just once since that date, so he's not going to have a lot of upside even if he's healthy down the stretch.

Luke Frampton - Unavailable Saturday Frampton (illness) is not available for Saturday's game against Middle Tennessee State, according to Jared MacDonald of Bowling Green Daily News.

Impact While Frampton's illness has been described as a non-COVID illness, he has been held out of this contest. This means his next chance to feature would come against Marshall on Mar. 2. Frampton is averaging 9.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game this season.

Jairus Hamilton - Not dressed Saturday Hamilton (knee) is not dressed for Saturday's game against Middle Tennessee State, according to Jared MacDonald of Bowling Green Daily News.

Impact Hamilton came out of the tunnel at the Murphy Center in street clothes and wasn't seen in warmups, so he's not going to see action in this one. He injured his knee and didn't return late in the first half of last Saturday's win over Old Dominion, and as things stand now, it remains to be seen if he'll be able for any of the final two games of the regular season.
