Divine Ugochukwu - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Gets hot, scores season high Ugochukwu provided 16 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 89-56 victory over East Carolina.

Impact Ugochukwu has served primarily as the backup point guard to Jeremy Fears over the season's first six games -- a role that has resulted in limited playing time, and until Tuesday, limited scoring. The sophomore found his shooting stroke in this lopsided matchup, but his minutes will presumably be capped again once the matchups get tougher, starting Thursday against North Carolina.
