The most important thing here is that Laurentian University is in Sudbury. So in my head canon, Ngala is boys with Shoresy and the Blueberry Bulldogs
Laurentian University 5-foot- Point Guard Nginyu Ngala has commited to Kansas University, his agent @peteyannopoulos from @AthletesInPower Sports Management told @TheFieldOf68. Ngala will give the Jayhawks depth at the position. Older, strong, physical, quick point guard who…

With Buzz bringing Pharrel Payne and Solomon Washington with him, the Terps have a distinctly Texas A&M feel to them That should lead to a high floor, but will the physical onslaught style hold up as well in the brutal Big Ten? Perhaps nomadic Buzz will shift his approach again
The @3MW_CBB Top 50 team countdown continues with No. 47, Maryland. It’s year one of the Buzz Williams era in College Park and the Terps are well-positioned to be in the NCAAT picture again this season. Subscribe to read the full preview: basketunderreview.com/3mw-top-50-tea…
Pretty shameful stuff
The ACC got rid of two conference games in a "bid to give teams two more spots for marquee nonconference games...." Notre Dame and Miami told us today, No thanks! We will take a couple of more 275+ NET home opponents instead, thank you very much. #ACC
Injury gods, let the young man have a fully healthy season. It’s only fair
Gonzaga's Steele Venters (knee) has been fully cleared for all basketball related activities, per Mark Few. Venters has missed each of the past two seasons due to injuries, but averaged 15.3 PPG and was the Big Sky Player of the Year at Eastern Washington in 2022-23.
It's all about the U on today's @basket_review preview release... The Jai Lucas era begins in Coral Gables with a fascinating roster blend of proven performers and talented rookies: basketunderreview.com/3mw-top-50-tea…
I would like to register some concern if Devin Askew is proving to be a better player than Bryce Lindsay
Early prediction on Villanova’s 2025-26 starting five: Acaden Lewis, Devin Askew, Tyler Perkins, Matthew Hodge, Duke Brennan

Nebrasketball is the one true 16-team Crown champ
The Crown basketball tournament is scaling back to eight teams in 2026 after having a 16 team field in 2025. The Big East, Big 12 & Big Ten get six total spots, with two wildcards. foxsports.com/presspass/blog…

I have been a hater on recruiting pandemonium, but I must say that getting a 5-star PG is pretty darn sweet. Hey go Tigers
NEWS: Top-five recruit Jason Crowe Jr. has announced his commitment to Missouri, becoming the Tigers’ highest-ranked recruit since Michael Porter Jr. in 2017. Crowe, the No. 1 PG in the ESPN 100, led the EYBL in scoring and is arguably the best pure bucket-getter in the class.
