Chukwu had a pretty good game but as someone else pointed up he also had some pretty bad stretches where he looked lost like he did last year. Got bullied a few times by Thompson, the missed dunk, bizarre finger roll shot, and that awful turnover I referenced above. Part of it isn't his fault because were asking him to play 30+ minutes a game when he barely played last year and was penciled in for maybe half that many minutes this year before our normal luck kicked in with the Sidibe injury. Also like a lot of our big men recently, you see flashes him putting it all together and then he reverts back to the same old bad habits a possession later.  The good news is his Ft's look light years better then they did to start the season, he seems to understand that once he picks up a foulr or two he needs to dial it back a bit without Sidibe, and three he continues to be a great shot blocker/rim protector.

Moving forward SU needs him to rebound more/better and continue to finish around the rim when he gets great looks or opportunities off of misses are loose balls. I think most people on the board realize he isn't going to average a double/double in ACC play but we need him to at least finish dunks and give us some rebounding presence to go with his D. 6-8 pts a game with same amount of rbs to go along with 2-3 blks would be outstanding.
