BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – Paul Greene’s basketball path has taken him from JUCO to DII and now to the highest level of college hoops.

Greene, a 6’6″ forward, has committed to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) in the America East Conference for the upcoming 2025–26 season.

Under head coach Jim Ferry, the Retrievers finished 13–19 last season, 5–11 in the AEC. UMBC gained national notoriety in the 2018 NCAA Tournament when they defeated Virginia to become the first No. 16 seed to ever defeat a No. 1 seed.

After a high school career at St. George’s, Greene began his collegiate career at Three Rivers Community College, where he averaged 7.9 points and 7.9 rebounds per game.

He then transferred to Chipola College, where he averaged 7.2 points per game and helped lead the team to the NJCAA Final Four.

The latest stop was Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), where he became a key player for the Penmen, averaging 14 points and 12 rebounds per game with 20 double-doubles.

He earned a spot on the Northeast-10 (NE10) All-Tournament Team and led SNHU to its second consecutive NE10 title.

Collinique Farrington claims fourth consecutive GLVC award

Collinique Farrington’s unreal collegiate track and field resume just added another milestone. The Southwest Baptist University Bearcat won her unprecedented fourth consecutive Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Track Athlete of the Year award at the conclusion of the GLVC Championships in Romeoville, Illinois.

Farrington repeated as conference champion in both the 200m and 400m and was a member of the second-placed 4x400m relay team.

She ran 23.02 seconds in the 200m and 53.16 seconds in the 400m. Both were new GLVC records and NCAA provisional qualifying marks.

Farrington helped the Bearcats to a third-place finish with 107 points. Next up on her calendar, Farrington takes on the NCAA Championships, May 22–24 in Pueblo, Colorado.

Buddy Hield delivers historic performance in Game 7

It’s a quick turnaround for the Golden State Warriors, but the franchise is still on an emotional high from the performance Buddy Hield had in Game 7.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Hield’s record-setting performance against the Houston Rockets Sunday night was indicative of the work he’s put in since he joined the team last offseason.

Steve Kerr – Head coach, Golden State Warriors
“You know, he’s one of the best three-point shooters in the league. And he’s had a really successful career, but this is really his first real playoff run. And I think he is relishing it, and the guys, they see how much he loves it, and how much he wants to contribute.”

The Warriors begin their second-round matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at 9:30 p.m.
