When junior center Luke Meyer picked up his fourth foul two minutes into the second half at Tennessee Tech on Nov. 14, head coach Keno Davis looked to his bench to provide a boost for Central Michigan’s men’s basketball team.
He put in 6-foot-7 forward David DiLeo to pick up the slack and the freshman delivered. In just his second career game, DiLeo scored 17 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, had four steals and took a late charge to seal the win for the Chippewas.
