Might be a segulah at this point. One more year for a chazaka. @moshe_kolat

For the second year in a row, Yeshiva played 3 of the teams in the Final Four (Trinity, Mary Washington, Emory). #d3hoops

@d3datacast I was thinking he should be the POY before but this play might be the dagger.

Ben Pearce! #d3hoops

Culture starts at the top. This didn’t happen by accident.

I've never been a basketball guy. But this really captures why I've become so interested in this team. It's so much bigger than a sport.

This team was perfect. This is not about basketball. This is about greatness. Far from perfect in practice and far from perfect in games - but this team was perfect in all the ways that actually mattered. The fact that they were pretty damn good on the court too? Awesome, but secondary. Yes, in their minds too. This core group spent almost three of their four years with what many would consider a burden, but what they considered a privilege. This group played more than basketball. They represented a people and a nation under attack. And they did that perfectly. They also set the stage for this program as it moves into the future – on and off the court. They raised our level in ways that we wish nobody ever has to do again. I always love to talk about how much I learn each year from the teams I have the privilege to coach and work with. These last few years have changed many of our lives – for sure mine. To watch the resiliency, confidence and courage these student-athletes exemplified was awe-inspiring. Different backgrounds, different observance levels, different beliefs – one brotherhood. In all my years, I don’t know that I have had a group of guys this invested in each other and their people. The shift of our focus as a program from sport to humanity somehow made us better at basketball too. These guys defined playing for a purpose. The difference is the purpose was bigger than just the sport itself. You want to win? Everyone does. You work hard? Everyone works hard. What separates you on and off the court is your “why”. We found our program “why” thanks to this special group, and we will never forget it. Thanks @maxzakheim, Zevi, Roy, Dothan, Hillel, Tom, @arishklyar12, Or - for teaching me how to lead with confidence and perspective. Our future success will be yours as well.

Zevi Samet named an NABC First Team All-American. Another impressive accomplishment for Zevi. #d3hoops

Presenting the 2025-26 NABC Division III All-America Teams!

More accolades for Zevi Samet, as he's named the NABC District 3 Player of the Year. #d3hoops

Zevi Samet named D3hoops.com Region 3 Most Outstanding Player for second year in a row. #d3hoops

Obsessed with this reaction after Zevi hit one of his (many) Zevi shots in Friday’s game.

In 2022, YU returned just 13% of its points and 21% of its minutes from prior year. Next year (assuming eligible players return), YU brings back 41% of its points and 45% of its minutes. Replacing seniors won’t be easy, but don't be surprised by a Skyline three-peat. #d3hoops

One of the the best players in d3 Ben Pearce talking about Zevi as “probably the best shot maker I’ve played against in my four years…” Wow
