The answer then was no. Three years later, it is yes. The tuba player, the 7-foot-3 Andrew Del Piero, made his first start at center for L.S.U. in a victory against Seton Hall on Nov. 29. His statistics were unremarkable — 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 blocked shot — but what was remarkable was the series of events that led him to that moment.

seems like a humble guy and a tough worker. he was forced into a tough spot last night... I think if he improves his offensive game and his foot work on D on the other end he may get a chance to play pro in Europe
