By Alex Friedman on April 15, 2014

UC Irvine’s 7-foot-6 Mamadou Ndiaye set a Mountain West single season record recording 98 blocks during his freshman campaign. Ndiaye, a native of Senegal, showed during UC Irvine’s baseball game against Cal State Northridge that the talent doesn’t just apply to the hardwood.

Ndiaye averaged 8.0 points and 6.2. rebounds while helping the Anteaters reach the NIT this past season.
