THUNDER BAY – For a second straight year, Bacarius Dinkins is a second-team OUA all-star.

The Jonesville, Fla. native was just shy of averaging a double-double in his final season with the Lakehead Thunderwolves men’s basketball team, collecting 15.8 points per game and 9.5 rebounds a night, leading LU into the OUA playoffs.

His rebounding total was third best in the league.

“For Bacarius to average (nearly) 16 points and 10 rebounds in the OUA says a lot about his abilities. He's probably one of the most electric and explosive posts in the U SPORTS and he plays a lot bigger than his 6-foot-4 frame,” said coach Manny Furtado in a release.
