- Boston College Men’s Basketball Roster Countdown: #13 Aly Tounkara


Name: Aly Tounkara
Position: Forward/Center
Number: 13
Height/Weight: 7'0" 232 lbs
Hometown: Conakry, Guinea
Last Season: Tounkara played last season at Arkansas State, where he started 21 games and led the team in blocks. His contributions on the defensive end, alongside his 8.1 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, contributed to a 20-12 season for the Red Wolves who finished 2nd in the Sun Belt.
Season Outlook: Tounkara will be an important piece for Boston College's defensive interior and rebounding. He's the tallest player on the team and has real NCAA experience that will be critical for grounding a BC team that may generally be more focused on the offensive side of the ball. I don't expect him to start, but he will likely be getting some key bench minutes as the back-up big.
