Walker Kessler - Consecutive double-doublesKessler recorded 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four blocks and two steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 62-53 victory over Loyola Chicago.ImpactKessler has stepped up his play with a rise in competition during the Battle 4 Atlantis, as he's now recorded a double-double in each game of the tournament. On the season, the 7-1 center's block total has arguably been most impressive from a statistical standpoint, as Kessler has recorded at least one rejection in each game, averaging 3.2 per contest on the year -- something he simply never got the minutes to achieve during his time with the Tar Heels last season. Kessler will look to bring this same energy into the fifth-place game against Syracuse on Friday.
