Michael Nwoko - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Non-factor in tough loss Nwoko supplied two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 17 minutes during Tuesday's 88-66 loss to Auburn.

Impact Nwoko was completely erased from the game by Auburn. He's not a volume scorer by any means, but the 6-foot-10 center simply cannot pull down only three rebounds if the Bulldogs want to beat a team of Auburn's caliber. At his best, Nwoko is a double-double threat who takes smart, efficient shots around the rim. He'll need to find that groove once again.

Drops 18 in blowout win Nwoko closed with 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 83-59 win over Central Michigan.

Impact Nwoko was highly efficient in the win over the Chippewas, but what else is new? The forward shoots nearly 60 percent from the floor this season. After failing to hit double digit points in the team's first six games, the center now has double digit points in four of the last five games. He's trending in the right direction as conference play nears.

Settling into starting role Nwoko finished with 11 points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 23 minutes during Friday's 87-77 loss to Butler.

Impact Nwoko has been a starter for all of four straight games this season, and it's been a slow start to the campaign for him. The center averages 5.7 points and 5.0 rebounds, shooting 53.3 percent from the floor. For a big man who's constantly around the basket, that number needs to be higher. Still, Nwoko played one of his better games of the season Friday against Butler, putting up 11 points and five boards. It was his first double-digit scoring outing of the season, something he'll look to build on.

Submits paperwork for portal access Nwoko has submitted paperwork needed to enter the NCAA's transfer portal, per Joe Tipton of On3.com.

Impact Following his first game started as a collegiate athlete, Nwoko never received that luxury again during Miami's 2023-24 season, which primarily featured Norchad Omier as the primary center. And with Omier having one more season of collegiate eligibility, Nwoko would likely be subject to another campaign as a reserve, assuming his aforementioned teammate re-enrolled at Miami. Rather than all that, Nwoko will consider transferring to see if a more favorable opportunity is available.

Making first start Nwoko will draw into the starting lineup Saturday versus Syracuse, Mike Waters of The Syracuse Post-Standard.
