College career

He quickly became the team's primary scoring option. As a senior at Utah, Bibbins averaged 14.8 points and 4.7 assists per game, hitting 93 three-pointers, the second-highest single-season mark in Utes history. He was named to the First-team All-Pac-12 and led the team to a 23-win season and an appearance in the NIT championship game.[3]
