Corrals 18 boards Obinna supplied 14 points (5-14 FG, 4-4 FT), 18 rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 49-48 loss to La Salle.

Impact Obinna can be a bit hit-or-miss from a fantasy perspective, as he produced just two points on 1-for-7 shooting Saturday against St. Bonaventure, despite playing all 40 minutes. That game snapped a streak of eight consecutive contests in double figures, over which he averaged 12.4 points and 7.0 rebounds. Wednesday marked a new career-high for the 6-10 center, as Obinna beat his previous best mark by three rebounds. He's seen significantly more run with St. Josephs than with his time at Vanderbilt, though he unfortunately isn't very likely to be going dancing, as the Hawks have dropped seven in a row to fall to 4-13 in conference play.

Third double-double of year Obinna registered 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 34 minutes during Thursday's 83-56 victory over Richmond.

Impact It's his third double-double of the year. The Vanderbilt transfer is averaging 13.3 points and 6.7 rebounds at his new home, and there's no reason to think that slows, as the Hawks played all five starters 29+ minutes, and got only 33 total minutes from their bench.

Board shy of double-double Obinna supplied 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 78-71 victory over Penn.

Impact Obinna has now reached double-digit points in five straight and has posted two double-doubles on the year. The Vandy transfer has the size and opportunity to continue producing against the A-10s second tier of teams. That means he could have a handful of struggles, but there's some emerging appeal in his production.
