It marked his first game with double digit points since that triple-double (Nov. 23) and it also marked his fourth game this season with at least eight assists. He added one steal and a season-high two blocks on the defensive end to fill out his highly productive outing. The Georgia transfer is averaging 9.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.6 steals across 25.7 minutes per game this season, proving he can impact the game in a variety of ways.

Lower usage against Illinois Demary notched nine points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Friday's 74-61 victory over Illinois.

Impact Demary had a few quick whistles in this one that allowed Malachi Smith to take over at point guard, and UConn seemed to run with the hot hand, as Smith matched his season-best scoring total while also dishing out nine assists. Demary just picked up a triple-double with four steals the game before against Bryant, so while his role isn't in any immediate jeopardy, he does have fierce competition behind him on the bench.

Seven dimes as Huskies roll Demary registered 16 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and four steals over 22 minutes during Friday's 110-47 victory over UMass Lowell.

Impact Demary has started both games for the Huskies and served as the primary point guard, with UConn earning a lopsided victory in each contest. Another softer matchup Monday against Columbia awaits, with a stiffer test set to come Saturday against BYU.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Exhibition includes two 3PM Demary (calf) logged nine points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists during Connecticut's exhibition game Tuesday against Michigan State.

Impact Expected to be used recently against Michigan State, Demary unsurprisingly logged stats Tuesday. During the NCAA's 2024-25 season, as part of Georgia, he logged 13.5 points, 1.8 three-pointers made and a 37.4 3P%. At least until further notice, Connecticut's projected starters include Demary, though he is not a standout in the starting five.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Tuesday Demary (calf) has been participating in practice and is expected to play in Tuesday's exhibition against Michigan State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Demary missed UConn's first exhibition game Oct. 13 due to a calf injury. The 6-foot-4 guard was considered day-to-day due to the injury, and it looks like he'll be a full go Tuesday. UConn opens the season Nov. 3 against New Haven.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in exhibition Demary will not play in Monday's exhibition game against Boston College due to a calf injury, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Demary is considered day-to-day due to the calf issue, so it's likely the injury won't linger into the regular season. However, he'll miss out on some valuable reps with his new team Monday. Demary averaged 13.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.7 steals across 31.5 minutes per game last season with Georgia.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Projected starter at UConn Demary is among the projected starting five for UConn entering the 2025-26 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact This was already the consensus understanding of Demary's role given he enters as a transfer from Georgia who put up 13.5 ppg and 3.1 apg in the SEC in 2024-25. At 6-5, he gives UConn plenty of size at the point guard position, as Rothstein compares him to the likes of Tristen Newton from Dan Hurley's back-to-back title teams. Demary may not be the same triple-double threat, but his on-ball defense will undoubtedly prove to be a major asset for the Huskies.

JULY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Withdraws from 2025 NBA Draft Demary has withdrawn from the 2025 NBA Draft, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Considering that Demary committed to Connecticut after his draft announcement and what he brings to the table for the time being, it should not be so surprising that another year in college was his choice. For his 2024-25 season, he logged 13.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.8 three-pointers made and 1.7 steals per game. Demary's next objective will be looking to carry UConn back to championship glory.

Testing NBA Draft waters Demary is exploring the 2025 NBA Draft process, Graham Coffey of Dawgs Central reports.

Impact Demary announced his intentions to explore the opportunities at the professional level when he entered the transfer portal back in March. The 6-foot-5 sophomore, who averaged 13.5 points for the Bulldogs last season, has chosen UConn as his new home should he return to the NCAA.

Heading to Storrs Demary has committed to play for UConn for the 2025-26 season, per Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com.

Impact Demary will join the Huskies following two seasons with Georgia. The 6-foot-5 guard was a star for the Bulldogs in 2024-25, averaging 13.5 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. He will retain two years of eligibility with the Huskies moving forward.
