She scored in double figures in all but four of the 26 games she played in this year. That included six outings in the 20s, putting up a season-high 26 points against Siena and Minnesota. Ndiaye had two double-doubles this season, both coming with 19 points and 10 rebounds against Northeastern and Lafayette.

Ndiaye spent the first two seasons of her college career at Boston College. As a sophomore she averaged 4.4 points and 2.3 rebounds a game before seeing a big jump in production at Rutgers.

She hails from Saly, Senegal and has played for her country’s national team. At the Women’s Basketball World Cup Qualifying Tournament in Puerta Rico last month, Ndiaye averaged 6.2 points and two rebounds across five games. She also averaged eight points a game at the 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket Tournament last summer.

Ndiaye is the fifth player OSU has landed via the portal this offseason in what has been an excellent class for Hoyt and Co. Ndiaye joins All-SEC guard Liv McGill, D-II Player of the Year Talexa Weeter, sharpshooter Ellie Brueggemann and former five-star prospect LA Sneed.
