KyKy Tandy - Unimpactful in lossTandy supplied two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 69-68 loss to Marquette.
ImpactTasked with filling the void of Desmond Claude (illness), Tandy failed to capitalize. The senior guard has not exceeded four minutes in any conference game this season, and he did nothing to improve his spot on the totem pole in Wednesday's narrow loss.

Jack Nunge - Fails to deliverNunge recorded 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 69-68 loss to Marquette. He also had four turnovers.
ImpactNunge couldn't ignite the Xavier offense, and he was a non-factor on the offensive glass -- where Marquette held a 15 to 4 edge. Also, Nunge's four turnovers were part of an overall sloppy game from Xavier, with the Musketeers' 17 turnovers more than doubling Marquette's seven.

Jerome Hunter - Average in lossHunter recorded 10 points (3-5 FG, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 69-68 loss to Marquette.
ImpactHunter was solid, but on a night where Xavier was shorthanded, someone needed to step up. Nonetheless, Hunter has been an admirable fill-in for Zach Freemantle (foot), averaging 9.3 points per game on 55.9 percent shooting over his last 10 games.

David Joplin - Chips in nineJoplin notched nine points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 69-68 win over Xavier.
ImpactJoplin fell in-line with his season averages of 9.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. He's been amid a slight cold spell from beyond the arc, connecting on just 4-of-19 three-point tries over his last four games

Tyler Kolek - Captains victoryKolek recorded 15 points (5-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 69-68 win over Xavier.
ImpactIt wasn't his most efficient outing, but Kolek contributed across the board in Marquette's clutch win. Speaking of his efficiency, Kolek's shooting has taken a giant leap, improving from a 32.0/28.1/81.0 percent slash last season, to 47.3/38.1/80.6 percent thus far in his junior campaign.
