    Hamady N’Diaye can hardly believe his college career at Rutgers is winding down.

    But Thursday on senior night, the 6-foot-11, 235-pound Senegal native will play his final home game when the Scarlet Knights face Seton Hall at the Rutgers Athletic Center.

    “I really didn’t even realize it until last week when I really looked at the schedule and said, hold up, we’re playing Seton Hall on my senior day,” N’Diaye told reporters this week. “It’s nice. I love playing against them. No matter what happens, it’s always a very good game, intense, and we give it our best, and that’s what’s going to happen Thursday.”

    **Some tough news out of Georgetown, where star guard Austin Freeman is suffering from diabetes. It remains unclear if Freeman will miss the Big East tournament beginning next week.

    “It’s just something I’m going to have to deal with,” Freeman told the Washington Post. “It’s going to be a certain change in my diet and my life. But I know I can deal with it. I’ll be fine.”

    **And here’s a good read on Pitt’s Jermaine Dixon by Dana O’Neil of ESPN.com.
