Ike Anigbogu: Fouls out Saturday
Rotowire
Anigbogu recorded four points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and four blocks across 15 minutes before fouling out in Saturday's win over the Vipers.
Anigbogu did what he's done all season long, which is to score at a low rate but provide excellent defense and rim protection, but unfortunately, this outing was cut short when he recorded his sixth foul. He hasn't done much across the season, so he shouldn't be a factor most nights for the Squadron.
