USC forward Boubacar Coulibaly transfers to Pepperdine
The only time Coulibaly got double-digit minutes in a game came in this season’s opener when he played 10 minutes against CSUN. He scored seven points and grabbed six rebounds. He also added an assist and a block. A foot injury set him back after the CSUN win. It was his only opportunity to play in the non-conference schedule when he likely would have gotten many more opportunities. He also showed what he can do against a little better opponent when he played eight minutes against Arizona State in late January (after only one minute of game time since the CSUN game). Coulibaly had three points, three rebounds, a block and an assist. --247Sports.com
