Ward was extremely efficient, going 8-for-13 from the floor, while logging his first 20-point game in nearly a month on just 24 minutes of action. The freshman big man bounced back from an awful performance against the Purdue Boilermakers where he fouled out after playing just 12 minutes.

Ward is averaging 13.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in just 19.3 minutes per game.
