Another dominant display De Ridder chipped in 26 points (9-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds and one block in 27 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 83-78 win over Northwestern.

Impact De Ridder was expected to be one of the top freshmen in the ACC this season, but he's surpassing those expectations, and he posted another outstanding display in this win over Northwestern. De Ridder is averaging 19.0 points per game this season and has scored at least 20 points in four of his five outings thus far.

Impact De Ridder was tipped to be one of the best freshmen in the ACC, but the Belgian forward has been even better than anticipated. This was the third time he's reached the 20-point plateau in his four appearances, with the lone exception being the five-point dud in the win over Hampton on Nov. 17. De Ridder should remain one of the Cavaliers' best and most consistent weapons on offense.

Shines in college debut De Ridder registered 21 points (10-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Monday's 87-53 win over Rider.

Impact De Ridder was widely considered as one of the top freshmen in the ACC before the start of the 2025-26 season, and his performance in the opener did nothing but back that up. He looked composed and ready to contribute on both ends of the court, and while he's not going to deliver double-doubles on a regular basis, expect De Ridder to be a steady contributor for the Cavaliers as a reliable offensive weapon and rebounder.
