COLLEGE
Glen Rice Jr. played his NCAA career at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's basketball from 2009–10 through 2011–12, appearing across three seasons and finishing with three-year career averages of 9.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game before being dismissed from the program in March 2012.
As a freshman in 2009–10, Rice worked his way from an early bench role into the starting group late in the year, played in all but one game, and started Georgia Tech’s final 11 contests while logging more than 18 minutes per game overall and more than 20 minutes per game in ACC play.
That freshman season included a statement night on March 2, 2010 at Clemson when he produced season highs of 17 points, eight rebounds and four assists, and he also earned ACC All-Academic Team honours on March 3, 2010.
In the 2010 NCAA Tournament second round against Ohio State on March 21, 2010, Rice scored 10 points in 25 minutes as Georgia Tech’s ACC tournament championship run carried into March Madness.
As a sophomore in 2010–11, Rice became a major scorer and rebounder for the Yellow Jackets, averaging 13.0 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, and he had multiple 20-point performances while starting 23 games that season.
Entering 2011–12 as Georgia Tech’s leading returning scorer, Rice was suspended for the first three games of the season for a violation of team rules, returned to the rotation, and later served another suspension that caused him to miss the final six games of the season.
On March 13, 2012, Georgia Tech dismissed Rice from the program, closing his college career after three seasons in Atlanta.

Why Newcastle’s NBL Return Is Closer Than You Think
The conversation around NBL expansion has intensified in recent years, with the league publicly confirming discussions with potential markets such as Canberra, the Gold Coast, and Darwin. However, one city that continues to quietly build momentum as a realistic candidate for a future franchise is Newcastle.

Why Luke Paul Said No to a $3 Million College Bag to Get “Beaten Up” in the NBL

The 16-year-old Australian talent is a 6'6" point guard widely tipped as a future NBA lottery pick who reportedly turned down US college offers worth up to $3 million to stay home. He didn't do it for comfort. He didn't do it for safety. According to Paul, he did it…

This has been something I’ve been thinking about and discussing with people since Indigenous Round.I think we all need a little perspective sometimes. https://t.co/2D65bvtS5K — Michael Randall (@MickRandallHS) February 3, 2026 But the argument that any criticism of the National Basketball League’s social-issue…

Japan’s Emergence as a Major Destination for Australian Basketball Talent
Five to ten years ago, if an Australian headed to Japan, it was typically because of not making NBL roster spots. Players like Venky Jois, Daniel Dillon and Rhys Vague fit this profile. Now Australian basketballers looking to play overseas rarely viewed Japan as a serious career destination. The traditional pathways pointed elsewhere, but that perception has shifted rapidly. Today, Japan’s B.League has emerged as a legitimate and increasingly attractive option for Australian players seeking strong contracts, defined roles, and long-term professional stability.Today, that narrative…
