Papa Dia

when was the last time our student section chanted the name of one of our players loudly and in unison? that was my favorite part of the day. Smu was a real basketeball program again for at least one brief afternoon.

The chant was awesome, and well-deserved.

Even better was the way Papa played — fantastic.

Better still ... BEATING MEMPHIS!

he's one of the best bigs in CUSA, no two ways about it. Kid is really showing out

Thanks should go to Coach Reggie Geary as he has worked with Papa on his inside moves to make him so much more effective. He now has a great little baby hook and has even used a drop step to get under the bucket. He didn't have those moves last year and with more time with Reggie, he will be a beast next year! Papa has really matured mentally as well and doesn't get as emotional as he was in the past, which took him off his game.
