3. Who are the straws that stir the drink for the Seminoles? Strengths? Weaknesses?

"The guy that’s had the most consistent impact has been Mfiondu Kabengele. He’s averaging 13 points and five boards per game and he comes off the bench because he’s a foul magnet. Terrance Mann and Trent Forrest are the other two players that have had the most impact with Phil Cofer trying to round into shape coming off the injury. All of these players are capable of contributing on both sides of the ball. Kabengele is the leading scoring, Mann is the leading rebounder and Forrest leads the team in steals averaging two per game. Mann and Kabengele both usually take good shots from the floor with field goal percentages of 50 percent. However, Mann and Forrest both average over two turnovers per game. Kabengele, Mann and Forrest all shoot free throws over 76 percent."
