College Basketball Roundup: Michigan Rebounds, Nwaedozi Dominates, Roberts Hits 10 Threes

Wednesday's college basketball slate delivered standout performances across men's and women's games, with Michigan bouncing back from a loss to UConn, a Mississippi State forward putting up historic rebounding numbers, and a Notre Dame guard etching his name in program history.

Michigan freshman Costello sparks win over Marquette

Playing at home, the Wolverines defeated Marquette 84-70 in new coach Mike Boynton's first season. Senior transfer J.P. Estrella contributed 18 points and eight rebounds, but freshman forward Quinn Costello stole the show off the bench. In 25 minutes, Costello scored 15 points — all on three-pointers — going 5-for-6 from beyond the arc without attempting a shot inside the line. Boynton praised the 6-foot-10 forward's unique shooting ability and work ethic on the non-scoring parts of his game.

Nwaedozi puts up cartoonish rebounding rates for Mississippi State

Junior forward Favour Nwaedozi continued her dominant start, finishing with 22 points and 19 rebounds in a win over Troy. She grabbed eight boards in the first quarter alone and shot 10-for-14 from the field. Nwaedozi leads the SEC with 14.7 rebounds per game and 44 total through three games while averaging only 22 minutes. Her per-40-minute rate of 25.9 rebounds per game underscores her impact in her second SEC season.

Roberts joins Notre Dame lore with 10 three-pointers

Ethan Roberts became just the third Fighting Irish player — alongside Kyle McAlarney and Matt Farrell — to make 10 three-pointers in a single game, hitting 10 of 13 attempts. He added six points inside the arc to lead all Division I scorers on the night in a 99-59 rout of South Carolina State. Roberts is the first Division I men's player this season to reach double-digit threes against a Division I opponent.

Moore's career night lifts Duquesne past Marist

Junior guard Nadia Moore exploded for a career-high 33 points, including 15 in the fourth quarter, to push Duquesne to a 72-67 victory. Moore, a first-year starter, shot 69% overall and 4-for-7 from three while adding four assists, five rebounds, and a steal. Her previous career best was 18 points.

What to watch next: Michigan's early-season trajectory under Boynton, Nwaedozi's rebounding pace in SEC play, and whether Roberts' shooting display signals a breakout for Notre Dame.
