It’s difficult to get a real feel for what a player can do when they aren’t given a ton of opportunity. However, despite lacking as much playing time as some of his teammates, redshirt freshman Mamoudou Diarra still provided some strong impressions in his first year getting real chances on the court.
Diarra redshirted in 2017 after playing a total of 46 minutes across seven games. He still didn’t play a full season in 2018, but he did appear in 20 contests and averaged 6.9 minutes per game when he was on the floor.
