The Kentucky Wildcats basketball team loses another player to the transfer portal as it gets set to open

Already, the Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team is set to lose multiple players to the transfer portal , meaning Mark Pope and his staff will have to add some talent to the team. Now, with the portal just a day away from opening, another player has announced his intention to transfer, but this one isn't so surprising. Mouhamed Dioubate came to Kentucky from the Alabama Crimson Tide , with Pope looking to add toughness and rebounding to the squad.

His first team struggled inside, and getting a player who could battle down low was a big win. NEW: Kentucky forward Mouhamed Dioubate plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, @JoeTipton reports. https://t.

Still, he averaged 8. 8 points and 5. 5 rebounds per game in about 21 minutes.
