Dwight Coleby: KU bigs have to be aware of Caleb Swanigan’s many skills

Kansas City, Mo. — As the Kansas basketball team prepares for a Sweet 16 meeting with Purdue at Sprint Center, junior Dwight Coleby said all of the Jayhawks’ post players have to constantly be aware of talented Purdue big man Caleb Swanigan.

“He’s a big guy that can score in the post and step out and hit the three, trailer threes,” Coleby said. “You’ve just got to be aware of all the things that he can do. He’s a great passer.”

Swanigan has proven to be effective at finding open 3-point shooters when opponents double-team him.

“We just have to adjust as the game goes on, on what we can do,” Coleby said.
