Appearing in first Sweet 16 Boum recorded 14 points (3-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 84-73 victory over Pittsburgh. Impact Boum was held to just one point in a lopsided Big East Championship defeat to Marquette, but he and the Musketeers got the last laugh, as they're headed to the Sweet 16 while Marquette's season is over following a second-round exit. The fifth-year senior has also bounced back from an individual standpoint, racking up 31 points and a dozen rebounds through two NCAA Tournament appearances. Boum has been particularly effective closing out games from the charity stripe, going 13-for-14, which is no surprise considering his 86.8 percent free throw success rate this season.
