Walker Kessler - Triple-double after stat correction Kessler chipped in 16 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and 11 blocks across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 70-55 victory over LSU.
Impact Kessler was originally credited with just nine rebounds in the contest, but a stat correction was applied to give him just the second triple-double in program history. His shot-blocking prowess has been a tremendous asset for fantasy managers this season, as he's now averaging 4.2 rejections per contest, good for third in the nation and tops in SEC. Kessler recorded three blocks before LSU made its first shot Wednesday, and his 55 rejections on the year are more than North Carolina -- his former team -- has combined (43). His effort was a driving force in shutting down the undefeated Tigers, and he's showing no signs of slowing down heading into SEC play.
