9/26/26: Winner. Cheick does everything the coach needs and more. He provides all the good things Draymond Green did: hustle, power, rebounding, defense, spirit, energy, fight. He is an undersized (under-height) 4-man. Do not look for him to hit many 18’+ jumpers though he buried a beauty in secondary transition late in the first quarter Saturday. His nautral habitat is under the rim. Coulibaly will set a hard sceen and dive, but he is not consistent threat shooting off of the flair just yet. Right now Cheick is probably 225-230 pounds of iron. There are not three guys in Tennessee basketball with his strength. Insanely active offensive rebounder. Player of the Game.

14p 8r 1b 4/7 FG 6/8 FT vs Mt Zion National

-The size and physical frame stand out immediately as Coulibaly was a whirling dervish of activity for Hamilton Heights at both ends of the floor. Coulibaly attacked the glass, battled against a deep MZN frontcourt on the glass and in the paint, and had several 2-handed finishes above the rim. His most impressive play of the day came after he high-pointed a rebound, spun between 2 defenders, and through down a rim-rattling dunk off vert to halt at MZN run midway through the 4Q.
