He opened the week with a six-point, 16-rebound performance in a road victory over Northern Kentucky. Facing the No. 22-ranked UCLA Bruins, Posthumus had a career-high 21 points and 18 rebounds in 40 minutes of action. He capped the week with 10 points and 16 rebounds in a road victory over Nevada.
