Jordan Davis - Adds 14 points off bench Davis had 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds over 20 minutes during Saturday's 58-57 loss to Rutgers.

Impact Davis scored in double-digits for the fifth time this season and first in his last eight games. He was a starter for much of the campaign until late-January, so he has the potential to do better, at least in terms of his ability to rack up minutes.

NCAA Tournament Hopefuls: The key contenders in each major conference

A conference-by-conference breakdown of which teams are locks for the NCAA Tournament, which should get in and which still have work to do.

FEBRUARY 15, 2023

Connor Essegian - Logs 23 points in win Essegian ended with 23 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 64-59 victory over Michigan.

Impact Essegian didn't shoot well from distance but otherwise had another great night, one of many since becoming a starter in mid-January. Away from Chucky Hepburn, Essegian has stepped up as another scorer and he should only refine his game more in the coming weeks and seasons.

FEBRUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Chucky Hepburn - Scores two points in win Hepburn amassed two points (1-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 64-59 win over Michigan.

Impact Hepburn didn't have a great night from the floor but made a game-clinching steal in the final minute. He's still going to be the most-important part of the Badgers' scoring efforts, though Connor Essegian is firmly involved as well.

FEBRUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Max Klesmit - Scores 10 in win Klesmit closed Tuesday's 64-59 win over Michigan with 10 points (3-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across 36 minutes.

Impact Klesmit wasn't the most productive in his shooting but making a couple of shots beyond the three-point line was a big help. He's now scored at least 10 points in four of the last six games.

FEBRUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Steven Crowl - Secures double-double in win Crowl notched 11 points (5-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 12 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 64-59 victory over Michigan.

Impact Crowl helped slow down Hunter Dickinson with a fine all-around display. In five games during February, Crowl has come close to averaging a double-double with 9.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game.
