Impact Dia came off the bench for the second time this season. He had his second straight 16-point game after three straight games of 10 points or fewer. The 6-9 senior's minutes have been inconsistent, which is sometimes due to foul trouble. He has only averaged 3.0 rebounds in his last three games. The Rebels head to Tennessee on Tuesday. Dia scored 13 points in a win over the Volunteers last season.
