Dwon Odom - Chips in eight pointsOdom ended with eight points (2-3 FG, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 81-66 loss to St. John's.
Zach Freemantle - Contributes nine pointsFreemantle posted nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one block and two steals across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 81-66 loss to St. John's.
ImpactFreemantle played a reduced role in Wednesday's loss, recording less than 20 minutes for the first time since Dec. 5. He didn't settle for easy shots and took no attempts from beyond the arc to keep the defense from taking advantage of his 20.5 percent from three-point territory on the season. The junior will look to continue playing good team basketball against Georgetown on Saturday.

Justin Champagnie - Contributes 19 pointsChampagnie totaled 19 points (7-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 81-66 victory over Xavier.
ImpactChampagnie collected a five-game-high eight rebounds and a six-game-high two blocks Wednesday. He punished Xavier from the charity stripe, where he has shot 78.2 percent this season. The junior has averaged 20.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.9 steals and one block during 34.6 minutes over the last nine games.

Tareq Coburn - Leads St. John's with 20Coburn closed Wednesday's 81-66 victory over Xavier with 20 points (6-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 26 minutes.
ImpactCoburn took advantage of his first start of the season, reaching double figures for just the second time since the calendar turned to 2022, as well as posting a season-best scoring total in the process. The effort helped St. John's snap a two-game losing streak, but there's still a lot of work to do if the Red Storm hope to play their way into the NCAA Tournament bubble.

Jack Nunge - Double-double in defeatNunge amassed 12 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 11 rebounds and one block over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 81-66 loss to St. John's.
ImpactNunge has been a bright spot for a Xavier team that is otherwise in free fall, as the Musketeers have lost seven of their last eight games. Nunge has at least performed well individually over that span, averaging 14.8 points and 8.0 rebounds. Still, it's possible Xavier has played itself out of tournament contention, though the Musketeers could help their case with a definitive victory over Georgetown on Saturday to close out the regular season.

Joel Soriano - 10 points in returnSoriano had 10 points (5-7 FG) and five rebounds across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 81-66 win over Xavier.
ImpactSoriano missed the previous two games with a knee injury. He looked solid on Wednesday, however, to help St. John's pull out the win at home. Soriano will look to close the regular season out strong on Saturday against Marquette.
