Fifth-year senior Bourama Sidibe logged a season-high 18 minutes for the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team on Saturday. Sidibe, who has struggled with various knee issues during his college career, posted a stat line of 2 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks against Boston College.
Sidibe has appeared in just six games this season. He missed all but two games last year with a torn meniscus. So, with Jesse Edwards evolving into a force down low and Frank Anselem showing improvement, Sidibe found himself as the third center in rotation earlier this season.
But with Edwards sidelined for the remainder of the season with a fractured left wrist, the beleaguered Sidibe has been thrust into the backup center position.
