So how is Jeremiah Ingram performing?

6-foot-7 Jeremiah Ingram signed with San Jose State University back in November. The Colby (Kansas) Community College frontcourter is his team's leading scorer and rebounder (18.8 points, 9.2 rebounds) and is also tops in blocked shots with 34.

Ingram's has 66 assists to his credit versus 78 turnovers and his shooting accuracy is 44% overall, 27% from beyond the arc and 71% from the foul line.

Going 20-73 from long distance confirms that is not his forte. The Spartans are obviously known for three-point shooting this season but Ingram will not be greenlighted for such next season because it's a waste of his bountiful athleticism and his ability to draw fouls.

Speaking of the latter, Ingram has attempted 227 free throws in 28 contests, a very good 8.1 per contest. With Coach Wojcik's guys -153 in attempts at the charity stripe versus opponents thus far this season, a dramatic change is needed. Winning teams get to the foul line more often and also enjoy having key opposing players in foul trouble and thus playing less time than usual.

Colby finished 9-20 overall, 0-13 in conference play.
