Buzz Ritzel did everything from going 5-for-10 from three away from the rim to THIS at the rim in the @BlueboysHoops win at Knox. #d3hoops #d3dunks

A decision that Buzz made that no one will ever regret. Blueboy nation proud!! 💙🤍
I remember the day he decided on IC. I remember when his dad told me how I wouldn’t have to worry about him competing, or finding his way in our program. Boy was he right. Buzz has earned everything he has gotten. #MoreWork #ICVE 🔵⚪️
