The Gophers men’s basketball team has added Maryland transfer guard Chance Stephens on Friday.

“We’re excited to add Chance to the roster,” Medved said. “He is an experienced guard with a high basketball IQ and can really stretch the floor. Chance also has a high motor and we’re looking forward to having that energy on the team this year.”

The 6-foot-3, 185-pound shooting guard played in only seven games for the Terrapins last season, averaging 1.3 points in 5.3 minutes per contest. Stephens missed the 2023-24 season with an injury.

The Riverside, Calif., native started his college career at Loyola Marymount (Calif.). He averaged 6.0 points and 1.0 rebound across 17 minutes in 28 games in 2022-23. He averaged 37% from three-point range as a freshman in the West Coast Conference.

The Gophers are down to two remaining scholarship spots after adding eight players since last season.
