Game-by-Game Plus/Minus Chart The plus/minus figure is a comparison of the Bluejays’ points scored (plus) vs. their points allowed (minus) while a specific player is on the floor. For example, if Ronnie Harrell Jr. enters the game in the first half with Creighton trailing by three and he departs two minutes later with the Jays ahead by four, he earns a +7 for that stint. These results are tabulated for every player at the conclusion of each game, and also expressed cumulatively. Underlined totals indicate that player led team that night.
