NC State is going to need Mohamed Diarra gainst #12 Tennessee this Saturday. But can they count on him playing?
Diarra had 18 rebounds in the win over Boston College. He had 25 combined in his first two games of the season. He’s 6’10”, has great reach and he is tied for the team lead in blocks. So what’s the deal with his playing time?
Diarra played 48 minutes in the first 2 games of the season. Then he played just 14 against Charleston Southern, followed by 7 against Vanderbilt. Then he played 13 in a highly contested game against BYU, followed by 5 against Ole Miss in a 20-point blowout.
