Answers benching with good showing Ngongba contributed 17 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Saturday's 82-75 win over SMU.

Impact Ngongba was limited to just four points in 10 minutes earlier in the week against Louisville and found himself coming off the bench for the first time all season Saturday. The sophomore center responded by matching his highest scoring total of the year in what ended up as a seven-point team victory. That would seemingly be enough to earn back his starting spot, but in any case, a favorable matchup awaits for the big man Wednesday at Cal. The Golden Bears are average defensively and struggle quite a bit on the glass.
