Makhai Valentine led the way at 13.3 a game across 29 2025-26 regular-season games. Players who have since graduated or transferred are still here — this is what the team did, not who is on it now.

The roster is re-read from ESPN, so a transfer or a late signing shows up without anyone editing a list. Jersey, position, class, height and hometown all come from that same pull — and about one player in five has no photo there, which is why some rows carry a blank disc instead.
Last season's numbers sit beside this season's roster on purpose, and they answer different questions. The leaders table is what the program did; several of those players have graduated. Records come from settled box scores rather than the scoreboard, so they only move once a game is final.
Division II and III opponents show up on the schedule without a link. Those games are real and they count on this team's record, but we don't cover the visiting program — so it gets a row and nothing more. Looking for someone else? All 365 programs are listed by conference.
