Massamba Diop - Stellar freshman season continues Diop registered 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and four blocks over 34 minutes during Saturday's 73-60 win over Utah. Impact Diop reached double figures in the scoring column for the eighth-consecutive contest while also contributing defensively with four blocks, the fifth time he's had four-or-more in a game. The freshman big man even added two triples, though it should be safe to assume that's not a permanent part of his repertoire considering it matched his total from the past 26 games combined. Diop has had a standout rookie season for the Sun Devils, averaging 13.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks for the season with those numbers rising to 14.3/6.4/2.6 in 16 games against Big 12 competition.
