KALU EZIKPE NEWS

Part of starting lineup Sunday Ezikpe finished with six points (2-2 FG, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 18 minutes during Sunday's 97-74 victory over SMU.

Impact Cincinnati celebrated Senior Day on Sunday, so Ezikpe was given his first and only game started across the 2022-23 Bearcats' regular season. During it, he averaged 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds. Those and his latest minute tally, low despite the game started, should ensure fantasy managers that Ezikpe will not be one of the Bearcats' premium options during tournament-related games.

Moves back to bench Ezikpe isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Temple.

Impact Viktor Lakhin will replace Ezikpe in the starting lineup Wednesday. Ezikpe had started in the team's last three games.

Comes off the bench Thursday Ezikpe (undisclosed) provided seven points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and two steals over 23 minutes during Thursday's 83-51 win over UTSA.

Impact Ezikpe was not listed in the starting lineup for Old Dominion for their matchup with UTSA leading many to speculate that the starting center was set to miss the game. Instead Ezikpe, who has now started in 14 of Old Dominion's 15 games, played 23 minutes off the bench. The 6-foot-8 center has put up 11.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.6 blocks per game and it is unclear why he didn't start the game for the Monarchs.

Not in starting five Ezikpe is not listed in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Texas-San Antonio.

Impact It's unclear if Ezikpe will be available in some capacity off the bench. Old Dominion is also just coming off a COVID pause, so that could be a reason Ezikpe isn't starting.
