evanmiya.com has him as the 3rd best overall rebounder in the country. #1 plays at High Point, #2 is Amari Williams at Kentucky
I’m watching the game at lunch today because I had a very early start to my work day.

Tobe is impressive. He doesn’t settle for bad positioning or bad shots. He looks confident hitting that free throw line jumper, which gives defenses another weapon to consider.

I’m happy that Tommy has gotten the team to play hard in spite of their lackluster shooting percentage.
I think the huge leap for Awaka is the B12 refs letting them play. Like Corey or the other announcer said last night at halftime, no one had more than 1 foul.

If the P12 refs were calling at, at least 3 players would have had 3 fouls at halftime.

It's interesting that a lot of the refs are guys from P12. It just shows how much influence Scott and his ref commissioners had on the games and how much it has hurt the league in March.

I actually think those guys just always also reffed Big XII games. Always caught Ted Valentine doing Kansas or Texas games.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
