Gaston Diedhiou — yes, that Gaston Diedhiou — is a basketball champion.
The recent Golden Gophers graduate scored 11 points in the Midwest Basketball League final Sunday afternoon to help his TC Elite squad win a nailbiter 106-104 over the Fort Wayne Vision at St. John’s University in Collegeville, Minn.
Diedhiou, who finished a four-year Gophers career over the winter, landed with the Elite thanks to current teammate Elijah Sabah, a Twin Cities native who was good friends with Diedhiou during his time at the University of Minnesota. Elite head coach Tamara Moore also had a good relationship with Diedhiou’s former teammate Jarvis Johnson, making the Elite a logical landing spot for the Senegalese big man.
Here’s a sampling of Diedhiou’s play in the game. It’s not necessarily a flattering portrayal of his performance, but Diedhiou did play some key minutes and scored two baskets in a close fourth quarter.
