Keanu Pinder

The man from down under! Keanu Pinder only played two seasons as a Wildcat, but what he brought to this team was flat out awesome! His scrappiness, toughness, hustle for every loose ball, one hand dunks and ridiculous blocks is what made him a key player off the bench.

He only started one game as Wildcat and averaged 11.3 minutes per game, but that did NOT stop Pinder from taking advantage of his time on the court. I’m a self-believer that every team needs to have at least one player like Pinder, that one player who provides that much-needed spark, that one player who is not afraid to get down and dirty. Pinder never played with fear. His confidence was welcome and contagious.

For his career, Pinder averaged 2.3 points per game and 2.5 rebounds per game.  HIs senior season he some memorable moments, including this block early on in non-conference play against UMBC. What was that player even thinking?!
