Hutty & Saint Thomas updates covered above. A few of the others I've been tracking:
-TY Johnson (UC Davis) - The Aggies dropped a game at home to 2-6 Sacramento State (woof). Johnson played 35 minutes and shot 8-17 (0-4 from deep), with 21 points. Had 4 assists and 3 TOs. In a 12 point loss to a meh Oregon State team, Johnson didn't do a ton--29 minutes, 9 points (3-7 shooting) and 4 TOs. Overall, he's 2nd on the team with 13.5 points per game, 2nd on the team with 2.2 assists per game, 3rd on the team with 26.5 min per game and leads the team with 2.8 TOs per game. He's also only shooting 10% (1-10) from deep.
-Paxson Wojcik (North Carolina) - Looks like Paxson is no longer a starter with the Tar Heels. They went to the Bahamas for the Battle 4 Atlantis, where they went 2-1 (beat Northern Iowa & Arkansas, lost to Nova in OT). They then beat a good Tennessee team and Florida St. Paxson got good minutes in the Bahamas--13 min vs UNI (6 points, 4-4 from FT line), 20 min vs Villanova (2 points, 0-2 from deep) and 20 min vs Arkansas (5 points on 2-5 shooting). Big decline in minutes in the next two games--3 min vs Tennessee with no stats and 4 min vs FSU with 0-2 shooting and 1 AST. Will be interesting to see Paxson's roll going forward. He's a steady hand who doesn't turn the ball over a lot but isn't much of a scoring threat.
-Marquise Kennedy (UIC) - The Flames had a huge 30 point win over Middle Tennessee and then beat our A-10 pal George Washington by 10. Then they dropped a 1 point game to a good UNC-Greensboro team and a 5 point loss in their MVC opener to ISUr. Quise started getting bigger minutes the last two games. Against UNC-G, he played 15 minutes--2 points, 4 rebounds and 2 TOs. Against familiar foe ISUr, 17 minutes--4 points (2-4 shooting), 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 TOs. Look forward to Quise getting more and more minutes for a solid UIC squad.
