Gonzaga Bulldogs center Massamba Diop has been named to the watchlist for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award, which honors the top center in NCAA Division I men's basketball.

The announcement comes after Diop's performance in a game against the Arkansas Razorbacks on October 24, 2026, at Bud Walton Arena, where he recorded a rebound in the first half. The Bulldogs faced the Razorbacks in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

The watchlist recognizes the nation's best centers, and Diop's inclusion highlights his early-season impact for Gonzaga.
