He'll be in the top 20 freshmen 3-point shooters three times! Although he might not make it this year unless he gets hot.

I was really surprised to see Dibaji out there. I thought he had surgery on his wrist.

^ An article in either The Collegian or Gazette (too lazy to look it up) said he got a second opinion and was told he couldn't do any more damage by playing. So he's toughing it out and I guess he will have the surgery after the season.

Saw that on Twitter after the game... he (or McCall) apparently talked about it postgame... what a tough kid. Proud he is a Minuteman!

You probably know: Dibaji's dad, Samaki, was a 6'9 center who played for Louisville.

Did you know: He played for Louisville against UMass in the last regular season game (March 2) of the final 4 year. He had 6 points, 8 boards and fouled out while trying to guard Camby (23 and 8).

That's the code for the emoji... just separate the 8 and the ) next time

(23 - 8 )... looks stupid, but it works. Computers, huh? haha

Or you could have written (23-9). Who would know? Everybody just says what they want as fact anyway.

Dibaji’s brother Jabari who plays at Colorado is getting a lot of early love and is being projected to be a first rounder in the 2022 NBA mock drafts.

I know this was already posted in the current season thread, but this big news is worth putting in his dedicated thread.

Baj out for the rest of the season with a pretty major leg injury, per his Instagram.

He has appeared in 8 games this season. TJ Weeks got a redshirt his first year after playing in the first 10, so unless they changed something, he could do the same.

Tough news for Dibaji! Hopefully Santos gets those minutes...I think he is more of an offensive threat than Dibaji and he seemed to rebound just as well as Walker did.

Hopefully Dibaji fully recovers and can get the year back
