Syracuse returned to its winning ways on Wednesday with a win against Eastern Michigan. Junior Paschal Chukwu played a big role in the victory on both ends of the court.
Chukwu posted his second career double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds – both of are career highs. A key to his double-digit point total was his performance at the free throw line. Chukwu was 9-for-11 from the charity stripe, nearly matching his season total of free throws made (13).
On the defensive end, Chukwu continued to be a force in the middle with five blocks.
