Sissoko scored a career-high 12 points against Austin Peay on November 20 and had eight points in both of the Flyers’ NIT games against Toledo and Vanderbilt.

TALKIN’ ABOUT MOO
• Moulaye Sissoko came off the bench to grab a career-high eight
rebounds in the Lipscomb game.
• He scored a career-best 12 points in 13 minutes vs. APSU.
• He was hampered by a knee injury in 2020-21, but played in 14
games before undergoing surgery on Feb. 22 and missing the rest of
the season.
• He was the only full-season freshman on the scholarship roster in
2019-20.
• With the other four Flyers who were 6-7 or taller in their third year
of college ball (at least), it made sense for Sissoko to redshirt that
year.
• He came to the States from Mali at the age of 16.

He helped a very young Dayton team to a record of 24-11 this past season before losing to Vanderbilt in the Second Round of the 2022 NIT this past Sunday.
