PADUCAH, Ky. — Monday marked the beginning of the transfer portal window for NCAA men’s college basketball, a window that will remain open until April 22. Below is the latest on each Local 6 team.

Outlook: New head coach Ryan Miller will have plenty of work to do. The Racers will have to replace the bulk of their starting lineup. AJ Ferguson will have one more year of eligibility due to the NCAA allowing one extra year of eligibility to those who played at a junior college and exhausted their final year in the 2024-25 season.
