Modest contributions Punch notched five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds across 25 minutes during Monday's 65-46 loss to Houston.

Impact Punch appears to have secured his starting lineup spot after being in and out early in the season, as the freshman has now started seven consecutive contests, averaging 6.6 points and 5.3 rebounds over that stretch.

Provides punch in second start Punch ended Tuesday's 71-48 win over Alcorn State with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and five blocks over 24 minutes.

Impact Punch started his second-consecutive game in favor of the injured Ernest Udeh, posting his first double-digit scoring effort while adding seven boards and rejecting five shots. The freshman forward has averaged 25.5 minutes during those two games after having previously played 15.3 minutes per game off the bench.
