After missing five games due to injury, Mo Dioubate has quickly reminded the Big Blue Nation why he was such an important addition to Kentucky during the offseason.
Dioubate hasn’t skipped a beat in his three games back after a high ankle sprain sidelined him for nearly a month. The 6-foot-7 forward was playing solid basketball in the first five games of the season before going down in the loss to Michigan State, but he’s looked even more impressive since his return. That was especially true on Tuesday afternoon against Bellarmine. The Alabama transfer exploded for 20 points (tying his season-high) on 9-11 shooting to go along with five rebounds, three blocks, and a pair of steals while playing a career-best 32 minutes.
