EE for Effort?

Michigan State Spartans (#2 Seed)


Idong Ibok #00
(EE-dong EE-bock)

Senior

Center

6'11"/ 260lbs.



EE-dong is a senior Center from Lagos, Nigeria. His Michigan State Spartans are in Detroit to play in the Final Four. Although Idong is not much of a player in the outcome of the game points wise, only 0.4ppg and 0.8rpg, Ibok is the energy guy for the Spartans. In doing research I found that all of the pictures from this year's NCAA Tournament were of him hugging or celebrating with his team mates.











(Case and Point!)

I think that Iboc or Idunk Iblock as some of his Michigan State fans call him is only on the Spartans for one reason: GPA. Yes, Grade Point Average. He is a three time Academic All-Big Ten. His GPA helps stabalize the Michigan State team from early graduation and poor test scores. Tom Izzo knows how to coach, win, and stack the deck.
