Cam Ward - College Basketball News & Rumors

Productive off the bench Ward registered seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 FT) and seven rebounds over 15 minutes during Thursday's 76-66 victory over Northwestern.

Impact Ward was Michigan State's third-leading rebounder in just 15 minutes of action in the win over Northwestern. The freshman forward has been active on the glass as of late, with 13 rebounds in his last two games. He'll need to do the dirty work in the paint to help earn more minutes, which is exactly what he's doing. Don't expect a huge outing from Ward any time soon, but the forward has played his small role well thus far in East Lansing.

Lead scorer off bench vs. Arkansas Ward had 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals in 23 minutes during Saturday's 69-66 win over Arkansas.

Impact Ward was quiet in the Spartans' season opener against Colgate, logging just 10 minutes and scoring five points with four rebounds. The 6-foot-9 freshman saw his minutes ramp up to 23 versus the Razorbacks, and he also finished with a double-double of 10 rebounds. While the young forward likely won't get positioned into the starting lineup this early in the season, he looks to be positioned as a main rotator and contributor in the games to come.
