ImpactDainja has been solid on both ends of the court in a starting role for the Illini, as he's now made 11 consecutive starts and averaged 10.5 points and 6.6 rebounds over that span. Not surprisingly, the 6-9 center also leads the team in blocks at 1.4 bpg (1.9 bpg as a starter). His move to the starting lineup has also coincided with a run of successful play for Illinois despite Saturday's narrow defeat, as the Illini are 8-3 in that 11-game stretch.
