Seemingly overlooked by all, LU’s 6'11" 250 lb., starting center pulled down 15 rebounds in 15.4 minutes. LU hasn’t seen rebounding like that in over 20 years. He was also 3-6 from the floor like LU’s other 2 centers.
Power forward/center Tom Welch also had a great night, along with LU’s starting guards, Braden Norris (6 assists & 0 turnovers) and Jalen Quinn (with 20 points & 3 steals). Not to be forgotten was another good game by power forward Philip Alston with 18 points & 10 rebounds in 22 minutes.
With the play of Quinn & Norris at guard & the hopeful return of Kennedy & Edwards, LU guards look like they may be ready for the season.
With big men Hutson, Ashton, Welch, & Golden in the system we seem to be ready underneath.
Hopefully our forwards Saint Thomas, Schwieger, & others will be brought up to speed shortly by our talented, former forward coach.
Go Ramblers!
