Arguably his best game was against Marshall, when Barganier finished with 32 points, 21 rebounds and seven assists.

“Isaiah is very versatile, can play multiple positions and has a good feel for how to play,” Figger said. “He has good size, can really shoot, and great hand and footwork. We can use him in multiple positions in our offense. I have experience coaching guys like him that are left-handed and really have a knack for passing and scoring, so we’re excited to add him to our program.”
