Brothers in elbows: Gophers’ Cade Tyson, Nuggets’ Hunter Tyson

Cade leads the Big Ten in scoring at 21.3 points per game while Hunter supports the Denver Nuggets after being drafted in 2023, shaped by a competitive family upbringing.

  • Honored at Williams Arena, Cade Tyson, Minnesota Gophers guard, reached 1,000 career points before the Chicago State tipoff, while Hunter Tyson now comes off the bench for the Denver Nuggets after being a 2023 second-round pick.
  • Growing up in Monroe, N.C., Jonathan Tyson, father and coach, gave the brothers gym access and games, while their parents combined toughness and softer guidance to teach competitiveness.
  • Last season at North Carolina, Cade struggled, averaging 2.6 points and shooting 29%, while Hunter's rookie year saw Cade excel at Belmont with 16.2 points and 46% from three.
  • Cade's 21.3 points-per-game average puts him high in the Big Ten and 14th nationally going into games Wednesday, and he can build on that hot start when Minnesota Golden Gophers face Stanford Thursday in Palm Desert.
  • Parents say the mental side matters most, noting Jonathan Tyson, Chief of School Performance for Union County Public Schools, emphasizes mental toughness and pride in overcoming social media challenges.
