In mid-season form Nze had 23 points (11-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt,), 10 rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes in Saturday's 94-84 exhibition victory over Tiffin.

The stability Nze brings will be greatly appreciated while several Butler wings recover from injury. If there's any knock on Nze's game, it's his work from the charity stripe, as the 6-7 forward has been under 50 percent in three of his four collegiate seasons, including a mark of 47.1 percent a season ago.
