Season-high 24 minutes Meah accumulated seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 24 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 73-69 loss to Colorado.

Impact Meah fouling out in a 24-minute workload is partially indicative of why his workload has been limited in the first place. The absence of Franck Kepnang (knee) has opened the door for Meah to step up, but he hasn't been overly accountable in Washington's man scheme this season, while bring a rudimentary rim-runner doesn't add much offensive versatility.
