Dustin Hogue’s basketball playing days aren’t over.

The former ISU men’s basketball forward signed a contract to play basketball with Kifissia B.C. in Greece on Monday morning.

Bursting on the scene as a 6-foot-6-inch junior transfer from Indian Hills Community College, Hogue averaged 11.6 points and 8.4 rebounds in 2013-14.

Hogue’s rebounding rate in the 2013-14 season ranked tied for second in the Big 12 with teammate Melvin Ejim.

Hogue’s numbers dipped to 9.3 points and 4.9 rebounds as a senior, but he averaged four fewer minutes of playing time. He did, however, improve his 3-point shooting during his last season from 34 percent to 43 percent. 

Kifissia B.C. joined the top league in Greece, The Greek Basket League, in the 2013-14 season.
