Tahirou Diabate - Sees limited minutes Diabate (ribs) chipped in zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound across three minutes during Thursday's 53-46 win over Fresno State.

Impact Diabate had suffered a ribs injury five days ago, but it didn't stop him from warming up and ultimately logging limited action. He appears clear to return to his post depth role, with the Aztecs set to take on Colorado State on Friday.
