Welcome six new players (one men’s and women’s player from each of the three NCAA divisions) to the Video Game Numbers family as the college hoops season only gets more and more cutthroat by the week. Also, for all the college basketball that you can handle, check out FloCollege for hoops action from all three NCAA divisions, too.

Here’s a look back at college basketball’s Video Game Numbers from the week that was across the NCAA landscape:

NOTE: Stats are for the week from Jan. 19-25

Men’s College Basketball Stats

Division I: Obinna Anochili-Killen, F, Marshall

Though he had two games this week that fell under qualifying guidelines for Video Game Numbers, Anochili-Killen’s first game of two from last week against Georgia State is the one that we’re mostly focused on here.

In the Thundering Herd’s 92-79 victory in Atlanta last Thursday, the Nigeria native went off with a near-triple-double and the joint-most blocks recorded in a single game by any men’s player in Division I this season: 23 points, 10 rebounds, and nine blocks on 9-for-16 shooting, even draining a 3-pointer along the way, too.

It was the graduate student’s fourth game of the season in which he tallied at least five blocks as he continues to be one of the premier shot-swatters in the country, with his 2.67 blocks per game (as of Wednesday night) ranking sixth nationally, just behind two of the premier players in the country in Creighton’s Ryan Kalkbrenner and Auburn’s Johni Broome. 

It helps Anochili-Killen make an impact even when his shots aren’t falling; in Marshall’s victory last Saturday against Georgia Southern, for instance, he still was able to block four shots in 16 minutes as he struggled shooting the ball (1 for 6 from the field). Enter the paint at your own risk if Anochili-Killen is in the game because there’s a good chance that meeting him at the rim will be a battle that you’ll lose. 

With his last basket, Obinna Anochili-Killen has now scored 1,500 career points! 👏

Congrats, @obinnanochili🤘 pic.twitter.com/uZInFVMxib

Division II: Marcus Tomashek, G, Michigan Tech

Even if you don’t routinely follow D-II hoops, you might remember Tomashek as the guy who dropped 30 points on D-I Green Bay in Michigan Tech’s upset exhibition victory over the Phoenix back on Dec. 18, just a few days after Green Bay coach and radio host Doug Gottlieb infamously referred to supposedly weaker opponents on his team’s schedule in a press conference as “Nobody U.”

The junior guard, who went off against his hometown school that day, has balled out against plenty of D-II opponents this season, too. Look no further for an example than last Saturday in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play at Ferris State.

Tomashek (the GLIAC Preseason Player of the Year) was unstoppable against the then No. 8-ranked Bulldogs, dropping a career-high 45 points in Big Rapids as the Huskies won in overtime for their first victory at FSU since 2014-15. He drained nine 3-pointers in the win and somehow also fit in eight assists to go with seven rebounds, getting the ball and finding ways to score possession after possession.

HUSKIES WIN! Down goes No. 8!!!

A 23-point performance a few days earlier in a loss to Lake Superior State was merely a bonus in Tomashek’s candidacy for Video Game Numbers this week, being also D-II’s third-leading scorer (as of Wednesday afternoon) and the top offensive option in the GLIAC. Doubt him and the Huskies if you dare. 

Division III: Zevi Samet, G, Yeshiva

Draining 16 3-pointers across two games is some Stephen Curry-like stuff, no matter what level of basketball you’re playing against. It’s also more than impressive enough for Samet to represent the Maccabees on this week’s edition of Video Game Numbers.

Yeshiva had a 2-0 week last week that began with an overtime victory at St. Joseph’s Brooklyn in Skyline Conference play last Tuesday, led by a monster night from Samet. The junior guard erupted for a season-high 36 points with 10 3s made while bringing down seven rebounds on top of it, scoring all 11 of the Macs’ points in the overtime period to boot as he led them to a thrilling win.

It was more of the same for Samet back at home against The College at Old Westbury last Saturday, with Yeshiva winning by a much more comfortable 81-62 margin that included a 29-point game from Samet this time around with six 3-pointers drained. Samet’s second outburst of the week was arguably even more impressive considering that most who go to Yeshiva — a private Orthodox Jewish university — practice Shabbat, or the Jewish day of rest from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday; the Macs played the Panthers at 8:30 p.m. to align with this, and they and Samet got right to business as soon as they were done with their religious duties.

No matter what day of the week it is, though, you’re going to want to watch out for Samet if you’re playing Yeshiva and he’s around the 3-point line because he’s burned many, many opponents before.

Women’s College Basketball Stats

Division I: Lauren Betts, F, UCLA

From being one block and one rebound away from a triple-double one game to being an efficiency machine on both ends the next, the 6-foot-7 Betts had a monster stretch for the No. 1-ranked Bruins as they stayed unbeaten on the year and further proved themselves to be one of the top favorites to win the national championship.

Betts’ big week began last Monday at the Coretta Scott King Classic in New Jersey against Baylor, where on national television she set the UCLA single-game record for blocks with nine to go along with 24 points (on 10-for-17 shooting) and nine rebounds in a huge night. 

UCLA stayed in New Jersey for its next game in Big Ten Conference play the following Thursday against Rutgers, and Betts stayed on a roll, too. The Bruins won 84-66 as Betts went off again, notching a 25-point, 13-rebound double-double with five blocks on 12-for-16 shooting in just 29 minutes against the Scarlet Knights.

One of the best players in the country on both ends, Betts has serious All-American and national Player of the Year potential, and as long as UCLA keeps on winning, it may be impossible to deny her those accolades.

Division II: Michaela Jewett, F, Northern State

Did you obtain a big double-double against the defending national champions, then proceed to put up a near-identical performance on a different opponent the very next night? Jewett did, and that’s why she holds the D-II women’s spot on this week’s Video Game Numbers write-up.

The graduate student helped make Wachs Arena in Aberdeen, South Dakota a fortress for the Wolves this past weekend as NSU upended both D-II powerhouse Minnesota State and Winona State on back-to-back nights (last Friday and Saturday, respectively) in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference play. Both of Jewett’s performances in those games were impressive, but the first occasion against the previously No. 6-ranked Mavericks especially made an impact.

In the Wolves’ upset, Jewett had 28 points and 10 rebounds on 10-for-16 shooting, sinking four 3-pointers along the way as NSU won 93-82. About 24 hours later against the Warriors, Jewett kept her roll going with 25 points and 12 rebounds on 10-for-18 shooting, even managing to share the rock effectively with six assists, as well.

The Wolves have won three in a row in NSIC play heading into this week and appear to be hitting their stride at just the right time. Having a presence on the low block like Jewett to help guide them throughout the crucial second half of the season will be especially important if NSU wants to keep on winning and push for an NCAA Tournament berth.

Division III: Kacie Carollo, G, Wisconsin-Whitewater

Carollo averaged 26.5 points and 14 rebounds per game across two contests this past week for the Warhawks, so conventional wisdom would have you believe that she’s a lanky player who feasts down low.

Nope. Carollo instead is just 5-9 and also one of the best 3-point shooters in D-III this year at 43.6% as of Wednesday night.

A senior from Whitewater playing (and starring) for her hometown school, Carollo as of this writing has recorded a double-double in five consecutive games, coming out of basically nowhere to be a player who vacuums up rebounds for the Warhawks. The two double-doubles from a week ago that fit the criteria for this week’s Video Game Numbers came against Wisconsin-Platteville on Wednesday and Wisconsin-La Crosse on Saturday, both Warhawk wins.

The Platteville game saw Carollo be a menace in multiple ways as she tallied 22 points on an efficient 9-for-12 shooting to go along with 17 rebounds and six assists squeezed in for good measure, too. Then, when the Warhawks paid a visit to La Crosse, Carollo kept her hot streak going by blasting the Eagles for 31 points with five 3s and 11 rebounds on top of it for another excellent performance.

Size certainly helps in basketball, but effort is what gets you rebounds — and Carollo definitely fit that mold in her performances this past weekend.
