Picks up start Friday Collins finished Friday's 86-52 win over North Florida with 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds and one block in 25 minutes. Impact Collins has seen his playing time grow of late due to the absence of Lance Ware (ankle), but the five-star freshman was awarded his first start of the season, as Keion Brooks missed this contest due to illness. Even with Ware returning, Collins was able to post a career-high in minutes played, in addition to matching his season-best rebounding total. A fully healthy frontcourt likely means less minutes to go around for anyone other than Oscar Tshiebwe, but Collins is starting to prove that he can handle more minutes when called upon.
