Northwestern lands Virginia Tech transfer Joey van Zegeren

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern has signed Virginia Tech transfer Joey van Zegeren.

A 6-foot-10 forward and native of The Netherlands, he left the Hokies in January after being suspended indefinitely by coach Buzz Williams for an undisclosed violation of team rules.

Van Zegeren played in 13 games last season, and was leading the team in rebounding at 5.3 per game and was third in scoring at 9.8 points per game before the punishment.

He has one year of eligibility remaining and can play next season. Northwestern announced the signing on Monday.
