NCAA Basketball: Top 10 players to wear jersey No. 35 in 2023-24 season

3. Darius Hannah (Bradley)

If this season showed anything for Hannah it showed that he can be an awesome frontcourt player in the MVC. The Milwaukee native arrived at Bradley back in 2020 and showed some promise as a depth piece early on. However, he started to get more run during his junior season and really came on strong this year as a full-time starter for the Braves.

This marvelous senior season saw him emerge while averaging 11.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in a starring role for Bradley. He made 62% of his field goals from inside the arc, becoming one of the best interior scorers and shot blockers in the conference. Hannah was key in a strong lineup that finished 3rd in the MVC in a 23-win campaign and could be even more important next season.

Hannah scored 14 points apiece in critical early wins over UAB, Utah State, and Tulane. He helped Bradley get on a nice roll during league play, including 19-point outing against Missouri State. Hannah had a couple of 20-point outings and even had 5 blocks in a win over Northern Iowa. Though the Braves didn’t get the job done in conference play, they knocked out Loyola-Chicago in the NIT, with Hannah adding 17 points and 8 rebounds.
