UNC Targets Elite 2027 Center Uvwo | College Basketball News

North Carolina just landed a massive recruiting win with five-star 2027 center Lewis Uvwo — a 6-foot-10, 225-pound rim protector with a 7-foot-7 wingspan who’s already being called the top center in his class. He dominates the glass, swats shots, and brings infectious energy that could mesh perfectly with UNC’s culture. Coach Malone’s bold move signals a high-stakes push for elite talent, though Duke, Kansas, and Kentucky are hot on his trail. Landing Uvwo would be a game-changer for the Tar Heels.

Joe Few Joins Rival’s Staff | College Basketball News

Joe Few, son of Gonzaga’s Mark Few, is making his coaching debut as a graduate assistant at Arizona State — under his dad’s longtime rival, Randy Bennett, who just left Saint Mary’s for the job. The twist? Joe played for his dad at Gonzaga, even suiting up for his senior night against Bennett’s Saint Mary’s team — a game that helped seal a championship. Now, Joe’s joining Bennett’s staff to help rebuild ASU, while also reuniting with former Gonzaga teammate Emmanuel Innocenti who transferred there. Despite modest stats (13 points, 18 rebounds, 15 assists in 42 games), Joe’s brief but pivotal time at Gonzaga — amid the fierce rivalry — sets the stage for this unexpected, emotionally charged next chapter.

Gonzaga vs UCLA West Coast Showdown | College Basketball News

Gonzaga vs. UCLA ignites the West Coast Hoops Showdown on Dec 5 in Anaheim—part of a loaded nonconference slate for both teams. With Gonzaga boasting an 83-28 record in 11 matchups since 2002 and UCLA’s Mick Cronin calling these games vital for college hoops, the rivalry is electric. Gonzaga, sporting a Pac-12 patch ahead of their conference move, seeks a new point guard after losing a key guard, while UCLA’s Donovan Dent—whose assist-filled performance last year might make him a target—faces eligibility drama in a lawsuit. UCLA also brings in a top international recruit from Serbia. Tickets drop Oct 8, with presale Oct 7. This game? It’s not just basketball—it’s the heartbeat of the West Coast season.
