During his 2011–12 freshman season he reached double figures in scoring three times, set a season-best 15 points against Notre Dame, and posted a career-high eight rebounds in a road game at St. John’s while adding eight points.
In 2012–13 he moved into a starting role, starting 12 of his 13 appearances and averaging 35.2 minutes, 12.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 45.1% from the floor before his season ended early.
