Walker Kessler - Monster effort as Auburn falls Kessler totaled 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 19 rebounds and seven blocks in 33 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 80-76 OT loss to Arkansas. Impact Kessler broke his previous season rebounding high by five, which helped the Tigers out-perform the Razorbacks on the glass by a margin of 60 to 42. It was also a stellar defensive performance, as the seven rejections bring Kessler up to 4.33 bpg -- just .06 behind Jamarion Sharp for the nation's lead. While it was an outstanding individual performance on both ends of the court for Kessler, the backcourt simply couldn't pick him up, as the team shot just 25 percent from distance, with few guards outside of Wendell Green showing any offensive consistency.
