COLLEGE

He played 11 games as a freshman and averaged 0.9 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 0.0 assists in 2.1 minutes per game, while scoring 10 total points and grabbing 13 total rebounds.

As a sophomore in 1980–81, he moved into a larger role for a Weber State team that finished 8–19 overall and 5–9 in the Big Sky, tied for fifth place, and missed the four-team conference tournament after the Wildcats had previously dominated the league in the late 1970s.

One of the notable moments of his Weber State career came in November 1980 when he blocked 7 shots against Simon Fraser, a mark that stood as a Weber State single-game record and also matched the Big Sky single-game record for blocks.
As a junior in 1981–82, Devincenzi played on a Weber State team that improved to 15–13 overall and 6–8 in Big Sky play under McCarthy, finished tied for fourth in the conference, won the tiebreaker into the league tournament, and then lost 57–55 to Idaho in the semifinal at Moscow.

During that 1981–82 season he helped Weber State win key games in conference play, including a February win over Northern Arizona in which his late dunk snapped a 52–52 tie.
Across his three seasons at Weber State from 1979–80 through 1981–82, Devincenzi played 49 games and made 5 starts, averaging 3.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.4 assists per game in 12.9 minutes per outing.
