F Steven Crowl Gr. 7-0 7.2 Eagan, Minn.
➜ FYI: Tonje “leads the free world in fouls drawn,” according to Illinois coach Brad Underwood. The reality is the former Colorado State and Missouri guard does get to the free throw line … a lot. Tonje is currently tied for second nationally with Florida State’s Jamir Watkins with 87 free throw attempts in 10 games. Maryland-Eastern Shore’s Ketron Shaw has 109 in 13 games. Tonje makes the most of his trips to the line, too, knocking down 93.1 percent of his free throws.
