Uzo Dibiamaka found his groove down the stretch this past season for the Iowa Central men's basketball team.

Dan Weisse of NCAA Div. II Minnesota Crookston took note, as Dibiamaka committed to the Golden Eagles for next season.

In his one season as a Triton, Dibiamaka averaged 7.6 points and nearly four rebounds per game, shooting over 42 percent from the field, 43 percent from the 3-point line and 87 percent from the free throw stripe. He upped his numbers to nearly 17 points per game over the final four, including a season-high 19.

Prior to joining Iowa Central, Dibiamaka, a native of Adelaide, South Australia, spent a season at Western Texas College. 

"Uzo's biggest strength is his ability to shoot it from all three levels," Iowa Central head coach Chad Helle told GoldenEagleSports.com. "Uzo shot 44% from three on the year, overall he shot 42%. He will consistently knock down open shots and get to his mid-range area he likes and knock down that shot, as well. I believe he will bring some leadership skills with his daily approach to workouts, practice, the weight room, and film.

"He is a very mature kid who goes about his business. Coaches always talk about wanting locker room guys, Uzo will be a great locker room guy. I am very happy for Uzo and his opportunity to play in a high level Division II conference and for Coach Weisse. The last 10 games of the year, Uzo really shined and showed what he can do on a daily basis."

Minnesota Crookston competes in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.
