Six scintillating dunks are, rightfully, going to steal the headlines from Wednesday’s game for Felix Okpara.
The native of Nigeria put up a career-high 14 points on six-of-six shooting – all dunks – in Ohio State’s 88-61 win over Central Michigan. But with those scoring numbers, he also posted nine rebounds, with an even spread of four on offense and five on defense.
After averaging 2.7 rebounds per game in the first three contests of Ohio State’s 2023-24 season, Okpara has rattled off four consecutive games with seven boards or more, with at least nine on three of those occasions.
