To say Mamadi Diakite’s ACC tournament was underwhelming would be a bit of an understatement. The redshirt junior played 20 minutes across Virginia’s two games against NC State and Florida State, scoring a combined five points, went 2-for-7 from the field (1-for-1 from the line), and added three fouls, no blocks, and one turnover.
Virginia went 1-1 in those games, using a second half surge to take down NC State and falling by 10 points to Florida State in the ACC tournament semifinals.
Diakite’s absence from the stats sheet was a surprise as the 6-9 had been solid down the stretch for the No.
