Pasha is a 6'4 guard from Harrisburg, PA who won CAA Freshman of the Year after a dominant season with the Fightin' Blue Hens, where he averaged 11.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.9 assists while nearly leading Delaware to the NCAA Tournament.
In his team's loss to UNC-Wilmington in the CAA Tournament, Pasha had 21 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists in 39 minutes of action.
Pasha hasn't proven himself as a three point shooter yet, hitting 33.3% on 1.7 attempts per game, but he's excellent at getting to the rim with a 56.1% two point rate, and he shoots 76.9% from the free throw line on just over three attempts per game.

Gonzaga has lost the majority of its backcourt this offseason, with Ryan Nembhard, Nolan Hickman, and Khalif Battle all out of eligibility and Dusty Stromer entering the transfer portal.
Pasha's 6'4, 190 pound frame would give Gonzaga some added size in the backcourt alongside redshirt point guard Braeden Smith and wing Jalen Warley, as well as incoming freshman Davis Fogle.
Gonzaga has been attached to multiple guards in the first week of the transfer portal being open, including North Dakota's Treysen Eaglestaff, James Madison's Bryce Lindsay, and New Mexico's Donovan Dent. Dent already committed to UCLA while Eaglestaff landed at South Carolina.

Details for Florida basketball's 2025 matchup against UConn Huskies revealed
Details for Florida basketball's 2025 matchup against UConn Huskies revealed Florida basketball's matchup against the UConn Huskies at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Tuesday, Dec. 9, was officially announced by ESPN on Wednesday, setting up a rematch of the 2025 NCAA Tournament Second Round. The Gators narrowly won that game, 77-75, en route to their third-ever national championship. This fall, the two teams will once again battle on a neutral court in the second half of the Jimmy V Classic, which is named for NC State head coach Jimmy Valvano, who won a national title at age 37.

The game is scheduled as the second half of a double-header that opens with the BYU Cougars facing off with the Clemson Tigers, which tips off at 6:30 p.m. ET. Florida-UConn follows with a 9 p.m. ET start time. The Huskies hold the all-time edge over the Gators with a 5-2 record dating back to their first meeting in the Sweet 16 of the 1994 NCAA Tournament. Third-seeded Florida prevailed in overtime, 69-60, over second-seeded UConn to advance to the Elite Eight. Connecticut won the next five meetings spanning from 2013 to 2022, with a pair of victories coming inside the O'Connell Center and the other two on their home court; the third came in the 2014 NCAA Tournament Semifinals — a 63-53 triumph.

Three LSU baseball players who need to step up in super regional against West Virginia
Three LSU baseball players who need to step up in super regional against West Virginia Thanks to strategic moves from head coach Jay Johnson, LSU baseball advanced to the 2025 NCAA Tournament super regionals. Johnson switched one of his best hitters out of the two-hole and plugged in Ethan Frey, the team's hottest bat as of late, for the Tigers' rubber match against Little Rock in the regional round. The result yielded four hits, four RBI, and two walks from Frey. In addition to consistent at-bats from leadoff hitter Derek Curiel and Steven Milam, LSU knocked off the Trojans and earned the right to host West Virginia in the Baton Rouge Super Regional. At the plate and on the mound, multiple Tigers continued hot streaks at the right time. But who needs to step up their game in order for LSU to clinch a berth in the College World Series? These are the three LSU players who must improve their performances in the super regional. Jared Jones Jones underperformed this far in the postseason. He went five for 20 in the Baton Rouge Regional, including an 0-5 showing with three strikeouts against Dallas Baptist. Johnson moved the slugger to sixth in the lineup after he occupied the two-hole much of the year. With a trip to Omaha on the line, Jones needs to find his way out of his first large slump of the season. West Virginia's pitching staff, also seemingly hitting a low, gave up a combined 14 runs over the last two games of the Clemson Regional. Jake Brown Often the middle man of the lineup, Brown went quietly through the regional. He batted .250 with just one extra base hit, which followed a hitless SEC Tournament. Brown's slump follows a six-game hit streak to end the regular season, and he experienced some streakiness throughout the conference slate. He must channel the confidence he felt during the South Carolina and Arkansas series in mid-May. Zac Cowan Cowan can go nowhere but up after his postseason showing so far. Over his last 6.2 innings, his ERA is 14.85. In a start Monday against Little Rock, he exited in the second inning after allowing four earned runs on three hits and two walks. For most of the regular season, Cowan was the SEC's best reliever. He may have been out of his element on Monday and experiencing command issues as of late in his first postseason with LSU. The talent is still there and must come through if the Tigers need to keep a game within reach during the super regional.
