per the STrib:
The center, who radiates genuineness when you talk to him, ruffled his brow after a couple calls as the officials explained. After one explanation, Konate gave the ref a thumbs up -- not a sarcastic thumbs up; maybe the most genuine thumbs up I've ever seen.
"I touched the ball first and afterward the guy came for contact," Konate said of his fifth foul. "And they say no, no, my hand went down. But I have to learn all this stuff because it's new for me. It's different where I come from."
Said senior center Elliott Eliason: "He's just so eager. He's so excited to play and get after it that he puts himself into bad situations at times. We try to help him as much as we can, it's just a process. He's not going to learn overnight, but I think he's definitely going to be able to give us some great minutes this year. He's such a physical guys, he's a tough kid."
