Vermont basketball gains two transfers on same day
In the span of an hour on May 17, Vermont basketball landed two transfers to join the 2025-26 Catamount program. Ben Johnson, a 6-foot-3, 195-pound guard from Bellarmine, and Chris Kuzemka, a 6-foot, 180-pound guard from Loyola, committed to Vermont over the weekend. GoEmpire Group, a sports agency based out of Chicago, announced Johnson's commitment on X, formerly known as Twitter. Kuzemka, who will be a walk-on, shared news on his social media pages. Advertisement Vermont previously picked up forwards Gus Yalden, Ben Michels and Trey Woodyard via the transfer portal and brought back Jackson Skipper, who spent last season at Oral Roberts following two years in Burlington. Head coach John Becker and his Vermont staff are searching for two more scholarship spots to round out the 2025-26 roster. Chris Kuzemka: Beat cancer diagnosis this spring Kuzemka left the Loyola program in January to have surgery and receive treatment for a cancerous mass found on his body. On April 18, Kuzemka posted on his Instagram page that he was "cancer free" following five months of "scans, surgery, and four rounds of chemotherapy." Doing his time at Loyola, Kuzemka played in 60 games (started four) over three-plus seasons, averaging 5.5 points per game and making 67 out of 172 3-point attempts (39%). Advertisement Prior to Loyola, Kuzemka was the Virginia Class 6A player of the year as a senior in 2020-21 when he averaged 22.7 points, 4.6 assists and 6.3 rebounds per game, helping Centreville High School to district, region and state titles. Ben Johnson: Averaged 12.2 points a game at Bellarmine Bellarmine Knights guard Ben Johnson (33) looks to pass the ball by Utah Utes guard Cole Bajema (2) during the second half at Jon M. Huntsman Center on Dec. 20, 2023. A native of Lexington, Kentucky, Johnson averaged 12.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game while shooting 37.3% from 3-point range in 77 games (42 starts) for Bellarmine. Johnson reached double figures in 10 games this past winter, with a season-high 29 points on 10 of 21 shooting with six 3s in a 100-68 loss to Louisville, before an injury limited his availability to just 18 total games. Advertisement In 2022-23, Johnson landed on the Atlantic Sun Conference all-rookie team and his 38.1% shooting on 3s as a sophomore the following season ranked fourth in his conference. In high school at Lexington Catholic, Johnson was a two-time captain and four-year starter who was named Kentucky's Mr. Basketball in 2021 when he averaged 27 points per game.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Bellarmine's Chancellor Dugan has retired after winning more than 500 games in 34 seasons as a head coach. Dugan posted a 509-472 career record at three different schools. She went 159-73 at Southern Indiana from 1991-99, 161-217 at Florida Atlantic from 1999-2012 and 189-182 at Bellarmine from 2012-25.

Bellarmine went 18-15 this season and won an Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament game for the first time in program history. Her Southern Indiana teams reached the NCAA Division II Tournament in 1995, 1997 and 1998. She then headed to the Division I ranks at Florida Atlantic and helped the Owls earn an NCAA Tournament berth in 2006. Bellarmine reached the NCAA Division II Tournament in 2016 and 2017 before starting its transition to Division I. ″Chancellor Dugan is another local coach who wanted to come home and make an impact in the community she grew up in, and she did just that with great energy and passion,' Bellarmine athletic director Scott Wiegandt said in a statement. 'Coach Dugan built a championship-caliber team in a short amount of time and returned it to the national stage in Division II. She was then steadfast in her commitment to seeing the D1 transition through and developing the program in the NCAA's highest level. She unquestionably achieved that goal and is leaving the program on a high note.' ___ AP March Madness bracket: and coverage: Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

Right-hander Brandon Pfaadt agrees to five-year, $45 million deal with Arizona Diamondbacks
PHOENIX — Right-hander Brandon Pfaadt agreed to a five-year, $45 million deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday as the team continues its push to secure its young standouts on long-term contracts. Pfaadt's deal begins in 2026 and includes a club option for 2031 and a mutual option in 2032. The 26-year-old Pfaadt was one of the team's most consistent pitchers last season, finishing with an 11-10 record and a 4.71 ERA while setting career highs in wins, starts (32), innings pitched (181 2/3) and strikeouts (185). Advertisement Pfaadt also gave the team an unexpected boost during its postseason run to the World Series in 2023, going 3-1 with a 3.27 ERA over five starts. He'll make $799,400 this year before the new contract kicks in next season. Pfaadt's deal is the latest example of the D-backs signing young players to long-term extensions, joining shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (four years, $45 million) and reliever Justin Martinez (five years, $18 million). Pfaadt was a fifth-round pick out of Bellarmine in 2020.
