Kansas: Niang’s Back Calls It a Career



Niang’s Back Calls It a Career: The playing career of Kansas senior forward Moulaye Niang has come to an end. Kansas head coach Bill Self announced that Niang’s chronic back problems had not improved over the course of the season, and further basketball activities would cause additional damage. Niang played in 16 games in 2004-05, averaging .6 points and one rebound per contest. Niang had originally considered a medical redshirt, but now will be classified as “medical hardship”, allowing him to stay on scholarship for academic purposes, but will not count against the Jayhawks’ tally.
