Obviously some strides need to be made there, and sample size is somewhat of a caution at this point - but with his rebounding ability and body type, the man's gonna get contact. A lot of contact in all likelihood, and it would be nice if we'd be able to have him on the court in certain match-ups late in close games.

Yeah, that has to get better. As does Roe's FT shooting, who'll be seeing more time from the line. Last year, he was 50%, and doesn't seem to be much improvement yet this year.
Athleticly, this is one of Izzo's most gifted teams. Lot of fun to watch them run vs. Valpo.
