NCAA Basketball: 10 best players from state of New Hampshire of last decade

6. Tyler Livingston – UMass Lowell

A 6’5 forward from Hudson, Livingston made his way to UMass Lowell for his collegiate career. He arrived on campus right as the River Hawks began playing at the D1 level, playing in Lowell for their first four seasons in the America East. While the program never won more than 12 games during that stretch and were adjusting to D1 athletics, Livingston still had himself a pretty decent playing career.

The former high school standout was a full-time starter as a freshman, averaging 6.9 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, including a near double-double against Michigan to start his career. His next two seasons saw him playing more as a reserve, with more limited minutes but similar statistics as he became a more consistent player. A full-time starter again as a senior, Livingston went out with a solid season, averaging 13.2 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. He had a 24-point, 10-rebound effort against Maine, his second career double-double.

Livingston actually lead the America East in 3-point field goal percentage during that senior season. He was one of the best offensive players in the conference, even if his team struggled to compete, especially late in the year. He may not have gotten those same opportunities or had the same success at a bigger or more prominent basketball school, but Livingston made the most of his chances and certainly blossomed into a solid piece for the River Hawks.
