Mo Dioubate delivers a 'Christmas Miracle' on his birthday to spark Kentucky

The last month has crawled for Mo Dioubate. Every disappointing loss knowing he could not step out on the court with his brothers.

A high-ankle sprain suffered in the blowout loss to Michigan State forced him to sit and watch while Kentucky slogged through a rough stretch. For a guy whose whole game is energy and physicality, being stuck in sweats might’ve been worse than the injury itself.

Seeing the team get physically dominated against UNC and Gonzaga had to sting, especially for a guy who prides himself on being physical.

Saturday, all of that changed, and the best thing was it was on his birthday, in a rivalry game, in front of a desperate fan base.
