BALTIMORE - After consulting with family and Amadou Gallo Fall, the director of scouting for the Dallas Mavericks who found 6-foot-9, 220-pounder in Ziguinchor, Senegal, Boubacar Coly transferred to Morgan State. “I needed a second chance,” Coly said. “Coach Bozeman has been given his second chance and he understood more than anyone else.”

This year, he’s playing like one of the best centers in the country, as he’s led the Bears to a 9-8 record and second place in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference at 4-1. Coly is averaging 9.6 points and 10.6 rebounds per game, which is 10th-most in Division I. His 2.6 blocks per game rank 9th in major college basketball.
