NCAA Basketball round up Cont.d
Hasheem Thabeet-(UCONN) The big man from Dar Es Salaam Tanzania is already surpassing his impressive play from last season that led to him being named to the Big East All-Rookie team. Thabeet is already considered a potential lottery pick as a sophomore and his play so far this season has done nothing to diminish thought.
Uche Echefu-(Florida State) The forward from basketball power Montrose Academy in Maryland by way of Lagos has improved each season at Florida State and his senior year has been no exception so far. Already one of the school's leaders in blocked shots as well as one of the top free throw shooters in the school's history, look for Uche to lead the Seminoles into the Top 25 and shock a few ACC powers.
Alexis Wangmene-(Texas) The Cameroonian forward is a vital piece of the Longhorns rotation and will be important defensively in their march to the NCAA tourney.
Obi Muonelo-(Oklahoma State)The guard from Edmond Oklahoma is second on the Cowboys in scoring and leads the team in rebounds. Obi has become an important part of the Cowboys team and they will need him and PG Byron Eaton firing on all cylinders to make it through the Big 12 season.
Mamadou Diene-(Baylor) The Senegalese Center is a fan favourite in Waco and as impressive a student as he is an athlete. "The Mayor" is already second in blocks and blocks per game in Baylor history and was selected the Big 12's best shot blocker last year. Look for Diene to help lead Coach Scott Drews Baylor Bears back to the NCAA tourney.
