  Marcus Banks Jr. Signs Pro Deal | UMass Minutemen Basketball News

  Aug 18, 20262 min

  Marcus Banks Jr. just signed his pro contract and is headed overseas to Slovakia’s TIPOS SBL with the Nitros Blue Wings — a massive leap after averaging 16+ points and shattering UMass’s three-point record with 112 threes last season. He started every game, hit double figures in 27 of 33 contests, and even dropped 37 points with 10 threes against Central Michigan. He joins teammate Leonardo Bettiol, who’s returning to Italy — proving UMass talent is going global. The Minutemen kick off their next season Nov. 2 vs. Troy, with a TD Garden showdown against Boston College later that month — season tickets are already on sale.

  UMass Stars Soar in Canada | UMass Minutemen Basketball News

  Aug 11, 20262 min

  Two UMass basketball stars, big man Abdullah Ahmed and freshman phenom Christian Martin, are crushing it overseas with USA East Coast—winning their opener 79-75 in Montreal. Led by assistant coach Brian Steele (who’s stepping into the head coach role), this veteran program has taken college players to 15 countries since 2006 to prep for international competition. Ahmed, a 6’10” transfer from BYU with G League block pedigree, is dominating the paint, while Martin, son of UMass head coach Frank Martin and a high school standout, brings elite athleticism. With Steele’s deep ties to the Martin family—from his time at South Carolina to the Final Four—it’s a perfect blend of experience, culture, and growth on the global stage.
