Emmanuel Ogbole - College Basketball News & Rumors

Hardly involved in loss Ogbole finished Tuesday's 98-66 loss to UCLA with two points (1-1 FG), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 16 minutes.

Impact Ogbole has been extremely quiet as of late, and he entered Tuesday night's showdown in Los Angeles off two straight games in which he scored zero points. He finally got back onto the scoreboard against the Bruins, hitting his lone shot from the field, but he remained essentially a non-factor for the Scarlet Knights as they dropped their sixth straight game.

Supplies 10 boards off bench Ogbole supplied eight points (3-3 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 68-62 loss to Iowa.

Impact Ogbole has come off the bench for the last three games for the Scarlet Knights, a move that makes sense considering he was averaging just 4.9 points and 6.8 rebounds as a starter. Still, he's out-performed Bryce Dortch, who's taken his place in the starting five. Ogbole remains a strong rebounder, and though he's not a scoring machine, he takes smart shots and is shooting 57 percent from the field this season on 3.4 attempts per game. It hasn't been the smoothest season for Ogbole, but quite honestly, he's the least of Rutgers' problems at the moment.

Impact Ogbole got just one of his shots from the field to land in Rutgers' win, but he recorded his second-highest rebound total of the year with 12. The senior big man was also a force for the opposing team in the paint, logging two blocks across the contest. He'll look to dominate the frontcourt once again versus Ohio State this Friday.

Impact Rutgers scraped by American with a nine-point win on Tuesday night, no thanks to Ogbole who didn't do much across 16 minutes. He wasn't assertive as a scorer with just two shots, but did get some action on the glass with four boards and three blocks. It was a quieter night for the senior, who is coming off a double-double in his last outing.

Plays two minutes in return Ogbole (knee) produced no counting stats across two minutes during Sunday's 95-85 win over USC.

Impact Ogbole made his return to action Sunday after previously being ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 season with a knee injury. Though he played just two minutes and failed to record a counting stat, his presence on the court was a very encouraging sign for the 6-foot-10 junior. His next chance to up his minutes will come against Michigan on Thursday.

Questionable Sunday Ogbole (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against USC, per Brian Fonseca of NJ.com.

Impact It's a surprising update as Ogbole was previously thought to be out for the remainder of the 2025 season with a knee injury, but it appears he could make his return as soon as Sunday. The 6-foot-10 junior averaged 3.5 points and 4.4 rebounds per game for the Scarlet Knights prior to his injury and would be a welcome addition to the team heading into the home stretch of the regular season.

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out for season Ogbole (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Ogbole will be sidelined for the remainder of the season as the result of a knee injury. The 6-foot-10 junior averaged 3.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.5 blocks across 19 outings (15 starts) this season on 14.8 minutes per game. Freshman center Lathan Sommerville will likely be called upon to play a larger role moving forward.

Scores 10 in stunning loss Ogbole accumulated 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 19 minutes during Sunday's 79-77 loss to Kennesaw State.

Impact Ogbole converted on 4-of-5 looks from the field, closing with 10 points, two rebounds and a steal during Sunday's loss against Kennesaw State. The 6-foot-10 junior has been effective as a limited starter this season, averaging 4.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.2 steals on 11.8 minutes per game. Despite starting (likely to take the opening tip), Ogbole remains in a rotational role this season.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Despite being questionable several times across Rutgers' six games played in February thus far, Ogbole has played during all of them. However, he logged fewer than 10 minutes all but once, resulting in him being established as a depth piece for Rutgers with little statistical upside.

FEBRUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable vs. Maryland Ogbole (knee) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Maryland.

Impact Although he was given the questionable tag for this contest, Ogbole was able to make his season debut during the last week's matchup against Michigan. Barring any setbacks, the 6-foot-10 center should be available once again.

Termed questionable for Saturday Ogbole (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus Michigan, per the Big Ten availability report.

Impact Ogbole has held the questionable designation numerous times of late, but he has yet to take the floor for the Scarlet Knights. On a positive note, Ogbole warmed up before Wednesday's contest and could be available soon, though it's unclear if the sophomore will have a role in the rotation even when healthy.

FEBRUARY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

DNP again Ogbole (knee) did not play during Rutgers' game Wednesday against Nebraska.

Impact Ogbole logged his 17th consecutive DNP of Rutgers' 2023-24 season. Now, the team is expected to play its next game Sunday at Illinois. It should not be surprising if Ogbole turns up questionable again before then.
