9. Osasumwen Osaghae | Florida International | F | Senior |

If we are talking big numbers and frontcourt reliability, Florida International’s Osasumwen Osaghae is one of the best in NCAA Basketball. He does everything for his team and always writes a stat sheet that will impress.

Osaghae averages 13.4 points per contest while also contributing 8.3 rebounds per game. With these two respective categories, he has recorded six double-doubles on the season. While scoring in double digits on most outings, he does so while shooting 68.6%. This gives him the 3rd highest field goal percentage in NCAA Basketball.

Against Conference USA favorite, Western Kentucky, on Saturday, Osaghae tied his season-high of 22 points and gave Florida International the boost they needed in order to pull off the upset at home.

If his great rebounding numbers do not say much about his defensive ability, then his skill as a shot-blocker certainly does. Osaghae is a huge defensive weapon for FIU. He holds his own under the basket and leads the country in blocks with 4.1 per game.

Not many people around the country know his name, but with numbers like these, he deserves to be known. He is arguably the best player in Conference USA, and his stats show that he’s one of the best in the entire nation at what he does.
