French forward Bussing adds European flair to UAlbany basketball as he adapts to 'physicality' of American game

UAlbany freshman forward Erwann Bussing, a 6-foot-9 European import, is adding international flair to the University at Albany men's basketball program. Bussing, who plays for Limoges CSP in France's top pro league, recently shared that the physicality of the American college game is the biggest challenge for him. As one of nine international players on the team, Bussing is among a group of newcomers from overseas who have recently played at the highest levels of international basketball.

Coach Dwayne Killings has expressed confidence in Bussing's ability to adapt and contribute to the team's success, highlighting his versatility in multiple frontcourt roles. With a few weeks left until the Great Danes' first game of the season against Rhode Island College, Killings is optimistic about the team's progress as they work towards a fully healthy roster.
