Impact The Owls were once in first place in the American Conference, but their current six-game losing streak has dashed most thoughts of play into late March. Williams had only provided 6.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in his two previous games coming into Sunday. The 6-10 sophomore still leads the conference with 2.7 blocks. His 70 blocks are fifth most in school history, but Brett Royster's 97 rejections in 2010-11 may be out of reach.
