Late-Season Rebounder Who Finished Strong for UIC
In the 2008-09 season, Rob Eppinger flashed real frontcourt value for UIC: he appeared in 29 games, made 11 starts, and closed the year with a strong late-season run, averaging 15.7 points and 9.3 rebounds over the final three games and 10.1 points and 5.6 boards over the last seven.[1][2] At 6'8", he brought size, interior scoring, and board work, and his standout stretch suggests a player who can impact games with effort and physicality when he’s rolling.[2][3] If you need a forward who can rebound, finish, and trend upward under pressure, he’s worth a look.[1][2]
