A Season of Firsts
The 2025‑26 men’s basketball team at Concord University finished the year with a narrative that blended individual brilliance and collective progress, leaving a clear imprint on the program’s record books.
Khamani Wertz capped the season as the fourth‑best player in the Mountain East Conference for assist‑to‑turnover ratio, finishing at 2.06. The metric underscores his poise under pressure and consistency in moving the ball while protecting it.
Micah Young delivered a signature moment on the road at Wheeling in January, pouring in 39 points. His outburst marked the twelfth time in program history since 2015 that a Concord guard reached the 30‑point plateau in a single game.
Career‑Defining Performances
Savier McCall’s 26‑point effort in an overtime victory at Salem was accompanied by a double‑double that included 14 rebounds, highlighting his all‑around impact.
Boubacar Djigo was a catalyst in the MEC Tournament quarterfinal win over Wheeling, where Concord outscored the Cardinals by 37 points. Djigo also secured his place as the second player in school history to amass 350 rebounds in a season, averaging 13.3 per game and ranking third nationally in Division II.
Kraig Gilbert climbed into the top ten of Concord’s all‑time career blocks list, reaching 75 swats and tying for eighth place. The milestone reflects his defensive presence in the paint.
Veteran coach Todd May added another chapter to his legacy, recording his 152nd career win, which places him third on the program’s all‑time coaching victories chart.
Shooting and Rebounding Trends
The team connected on 253 three‑pointers, the most since the 2021‑22 squad hit 301, signaling a continued emphasis on perimeter shooting. Combined with Djigo’s rebounding dominance, the season illustrated progress on both ends of the floor.
Looking ahead, the blend of experienced leadership and emerging talent suggests that Concord’s upward trajectory will carry into the next campaign, promising continued competitiveness in the Mountain East Conference.
