Ousmane Drame averaged 14.5 points and 15.5 rebounds per game to help Qunnipiac to a pair of victories. The junior forward recorded a double-double with 15 points and 21 rebounds against Monmouth, and added a school-record seven blocks. It was the second time in his career that he grabbed 20 or more rebounds, and he became just the 15th player in MAAC history, and the ninth since 2000, to record 20 or more rebounds in a game. Drame also set a Quinnipiac Division I program record with his seven blocks against the Hawks. Drame also became the seventh player in Quinnipiac history to record 100 blocks in a career, and just the third during the Division I era. In the Bobcats’ victory over Niagara, Drame notched his 16th career double-double, with 14 points and 10 rebounds. He added three blocks in the game, and went 8-for-9 from the free-throw line.
