Canada's Ryan Nembhard breaking basketball records at Gonzaga with next chapter ahead

Ryan Nembhard makes things happen. For Gonzaga. For his teammates. For the record books.

As one of the top playmakers in U.S. college men's basketball, the Bulldogs' senior point guard has led the nation in assists while controlling the tempo, creating open looks, and keeping the offence in rhythm.

And as the season has gone on, he's been making history himself.

During Gonzaga's Feb. 8 victory over the Pacific Tigers, Nembhard recorded his 244th assist of the season, breaking his own school record for most assists in a single season — in just 25 games, 10 fewer than it took him to set the record last year. He now stands alone as the only player in Gonzaga history to record multiple 200-assist seasons in a career.
