An interesting sidebar to the Bearcats' upcoming NCAA Tournament second-round matchup with Nevada, an overtime winner Friday against Texas: UC forward Kyle Washington will face former North Carolina State teammates Cody and Caleb Martin of the Wolf Pack.
All three players started their college careers at NC State before transferring to their respective schools. Washington played for NCSU as a freshman and sophomore from 2013 to 2015 before sitting out the 2015-16 season due to NCAA transfer rules. The Martin twins played as freshmen and sophomores for the Wolfpack from 2014 to 2016 and sat out the 2016-17 season under NCAA transfer rules before playing this past season for the Wolf Pack (two words).
