Since then, he's bounced back with back-to-back 14-point efforts and nearly recorded his first double-double since Dec. 27 on Wednesday night. The Big East-leading Golden Eagles are not an incredibly deep team at the five, so it's imperative that Ighodaro continues to stay out of foul trouble and on the court, where he's taken a massive leap in production in his sophomore season.
