Northwestern vs. IUPUI Player Grades

22 minutes, 19 points (9-12 FG, 1-2 3PT), 11 rebounds (5 offensive), 6 blocks, 4 fouls

It was a career night for Skelly in all senses of the term. The junior from Ohio flirted posted personal bests in points, rebounds, and blocks, and could have had a real shot at the all-time school record for single-game rejections if it were not for a couple of questionable second half whistles going against him. It was the type of game that played to all of his strengths and did not allow for the exploitation of his weaknesses. Due to IUPUI’s lack of size, strength, athleticism, and scoring down low, Skelly was freed up to use his own athleticism and energy down low to attack shots defensively and attack the glass offensively.
