Gapare scored in double figures just four times, highlighted by a 20-point outing at Madison Square Garden in a win over Penn State. He also had a team-leading 33 blocks.
A native of New Zealand, Gapare played 30 games for Massachusetts during the 2022-23 season where he averaged 3.4 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.
