Siena freshman Tim Ibukunoluwa has hit the ground running in college basketball.

The 203cm Western Australian has started all three of the Saints' games and is averaging 24.3 points and 11 rebounds while shooting 62 per cent from the field. He opened with 20 points and 14 rebounds in a loss at Bryant, then went a perfect 12-from-12 from the field for 30 points and 12 rebounds against Princeton, before posting 23 points and seven rebounds in Wednesday's 99-89 win at Dayton. That's two double-doubles in his first three games, with Siena 2-1.

Ibukunoluwa, who turns 19 on Saturday, November 14, has already lived up to head coach Nevada Smith's expectations after he committed to the Saints last year.

"We are pumped to add Tim to our family at Siena," Smith said.

"He is a versatile, 6'8" wing who can rebound to push the ball up the floor, and then finish the play as well.

"Tim's experience in Australia will be a huge benefit to our team. We are expecting him to play multiple positions on both ends of the floor.

"Tim plays with a passion and energy that our fans will love."

Against Dayton, Ibukunoluwa went 8-from-16 from the field and 7-from-8 at the line in 36 minutes. All 10 of his first-half points came at the rim as Siena went into the break ahead 46-45, and in the second half he turned his own steal into a dunk that made it 70-60 with 10:39 left. Brendan Coyle added 21 and Trent Egbiremolen 20.

Thirty-four Australian men had a game, and their teams went a combined 23-11. All box scores are below in a searchable table.
