Michael Nwoko - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Settling into starting role Nwoko finished with 11 points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 23 minutes during Friday's 87-77 loss to Butler.

Impact Nwoko has been a starter for all of four straight games this season, and it's been a slow start to the campaign for him. The center averages 5.7 points and 5.0 rebounds, shooting 53.3 percent from the floor. For a big man who's constantly around the basket, that number needs to be higher. Still, Nwoko played one of his better games of the season Friday against Butler, putting up 11 points and five boards. It was his first double-digit scoring outing of the season, something he'll look to build on.

And with Omier having one more season of collegiate eligibility, Nwoko would likely be subject to another campaign as a reserve, assuming his aforementioned teammate re-enrolled at Miami. Rather than all that, Nwoko will consider transferring to see if a more favorable opportunity is available.
