Marquette junior Tre Norman has announced his intention to portal this morning.
The Worcester Academy product was a decorated prospect coming out of high school as a 6’4” scoring guard and has played 98 games for Marquette.
Boston native.
A few hours after delivering one of the most remarkable performances in Ivy League men’s basketball history, Penn junior TJ Power sat alone in his hotel room and let himself cry.
“It’s emotional,” said Power, a Shrewsbury native. “A lot has gone into this three years in college. To have a moment like that, it makes it all worth it.”
Power was once a five-star recruit and Gatorade Player of the Year at Worcester Academy. But as a freshman at Duke he averaged just 6.7 minutes per game in 2023-24. He transferred to Virginia the next year, averaging 9.3 minutes as a sophomore.
But this season, with coach Fran McCaffery as a guiding light, Power has rediscovered his joy for the game in what he describes as a full-circle moment: https://t.co/nfLyKdjyuf
Last year around this time, TJ Power was at a low point.
Now, he's heading to the NCAA Tournament after leading Penn to the Ivy League title.
Here's how the Worcester Academy product overcame 'dark times' to believe in himself again.

TJ Power just had one of the greatest performances in the history of the Ivy League.
44 and 14 in the title game of the Ivy League Tournament as Penn comes back and beats Yale.
CHAMPIONS OF THE IVY LEAGUE!
This one will last a lifetime in New Haven — YOU ALWAYS FOUL UP 3!!
TJ Power scored 44 of Penn’s 88 points to lead the Quakers to their first NCAA Tournament berth since 2018.
His 44 points are the 2nd most in any men’s conference tournament final over the last 30 seasons.
