Canada’s Ryan Nembhard sets West Coast Conference assists record with Gonzaga
Ryan Nembhard passed his way into the record book on Tuesday.
The Canadian point guard set the West Coast Conference single-season assist high during his 15-helper performance in Gonzaga’s 95-76 win over Santa Clara on Tuesday.
Nembhard now has an NCAA season-high 295 assists, 11 more than Emmett Naar recorded for Saint Mary’s in 2017-18.
“I’m not too much into the individual goals, but I love being here with my guys and doing it with them. There’s no better feeling in the world,” Nembhard told CBS Sports.
A fourth-year player from Aurora, Ont., Nembhard also added 12 points and five rebounds against Santa Clara as Gonzaga improved to 22-8.
Nembhard is the younger brother of Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard, who also played college ball for the Washington state powerhouse.
Gonzaga wraps up regular-season play Saturday at San Francisco.
