Has season best in loss Jones finished with 20 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and two steals through 26 minutes in the 93-84 loss to Xavier on Tuesday.
Impact Jones by far had his season best in the win Tuesday. The guard has started the majority of the season, but has been sent back to the bench after not producing within the starting rotation. He set a season-high in points (20) and tied his season-high in rebounds (6). He also was fantastic from the floor. Jones is a fantastic option if he can continue this newly found form.

Not much action in return Miles logged one point (0-0 FG, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across four minutes in his return to the court Saturday against Connecticut.
Impact Miles was said to be available for a Jan. 30 contest against Butler, but the reserve big man ultimately didn't take the court. The 6-10 freshman did see action in the following contest, but with Zach Freemantle putting up a stellar 30 points, Xavier ultimately rode the hot hand and didn't give Miles much action. Miles hasn't seen double-digit minutes in a game since all the way back in November, so it appears he's merely a depth option for the time being.

Five points in return to court Jones recorded five points (0-2 FG, 5-8 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 80-72 loss to Connecticut.
Impact While Jones was back from COVID-19 protocol and suited up for the Musketeers for the first time since Jan. 10, it appears the freshman still had a bit of rust to shake off. He'll seemingly have to earn back the starting spot he appeared to lock down prior to the team's shutdown.

Ruled out for Tuesday Griffin (COVID-19 protocols) will not be available for Tuesday's game against St. John's, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Griffin will not be out of the team's COVID-19 protocol by Tuesday's game and so his next chance to suit up would come Feb. 21 against Butler. The 6-8 senior has averaged 8.5 minutes over the last four games so his absence won't pose a major effect on the final score.

Cole scores season-high 24 to lead UConn over Xavier 80-72 CINCINNATI (AP) R.J. Cole came off the bench and scored a season-high 24 points as UConn held off Xavier 80-72 on Saturday. Cole drained 5 of 7 3-point shots

Throws fifth double-double together Freemantle recorded 30 points (13-26 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block during 37 minutes in the 80-72 loss to Connecticut on Saturday.
Impact Freemantle had a great start to the season and has fallen off since. The forward has managed to hit hit double-digits in points for just the third time through his last seven games. He has been underwhelmingly inefficient from the floor this season, but has produced enough to make up for it in the paint. Monitor his play and if he can return to his old form, he is a fantastic stream.

Won't play Saturday Griffin will miss Saturday's game against UConn due to COVID-19 protocols, Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Griffin has seen his role scaled back of late and is coming off of just four minutes of action against Butler in the last game. Even so, the senior's absence will leave the Musketeers' frontcourt down some depth. His next opportunity to suit up arrives Tuesday on the road at St. John's.

Will play Saturday Jones (not injury related) will play Saturday against Connecticut, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Jones averages 6.3 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, so he should provide a decent boost to Xavier's lineup. He was coming off five straight starts and might return to that role once again.

Xavier-DePaul postponed again Scruggs and Xavier won't play DePaul on Thursday after the game was postponed due to COVID-19 considerations within the Musketeers program.
Impact Xavier has now had 11 Big East games postponed, including another matchup with DePaul originally scheduled for Feb. 3. According to Adam Baum of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Xavier is expected to be cleared to resume basketball activities by mid-week, and the team is looking to play a non-conference game this week to account for all the prior postponements. As of now, however, Scruggs and Xavier are next scheduled to return to action Saturday versus Connecticut.
