Harvin Ibarguen is NIU’s hard-nosed rebounding spark
In the 2023-24 season, Harvin Ibarguen was a reliable frontcourt piece for Northern Illinois, averaging 3.5 points and 4.9 rebounds in 19.6 minutes while shooting a sharp 63.3% from the field, and he even posted a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double at Buffalo. His calling card is clear: physical rebounding, efficient finishing, and steady hustle, with multiple double-digit rebound games and a team-leading presence on the glass. He also earned Academic All-MAC honors, which adds a strong character-and-discipline angle. If you want an old-school, blue-collar forward who does the dirty work, he fits.
