grabbed nine rebounds last night to pace the University
of Tulsa to a 59-45 victory over University of

hitting on 4-of-6 shots from the field to help Tulsa
(3-0) to a 25-20 lead. The 7-foot center also made his
presence felt on defense and was a big reason why Little
Rock shot just 33 percent from the field. His final stat
line also included nine rebounds, two assists, two
blocks and a steal.
