TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Nate Oats has a way of bringing out the best in Mo Dioubate during those rare moments when the Queens, New York native isn’t bullying his opponents on the court.
“We’ll call him ‘Broadway Mo’ when we’re trying to jab at him a little bit,” Oats said with a smile. “Calling him soft to get him going a little bit. We’ll tell him, ‘We’ve got the Broadway Mo today, not the Southside Jamaica, Queens Mo.’ We got to go back to the tough side of New York City.”
Fortunately for Alabama, Broadway Mo hasn’t been on tour lately. In fact, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a grittier player in the SEC this season.
