Niyati Bangalore adds poised backcourt value for Carnegie Mellon
Niyati Bangalore is a 5'6" freshman guard for Carnegie Mellon who has already shown she can make timely plays in pressure moments, including clutch free throws in a January 2026 win and a 7-point, 4-assist outing against ranked Cortland in November 2025[3][4]. She looks like a steady connector rather than a volume scorer: quick enough to handle the ball, reliable in late-game possessions, and useful as a guard who can keep an offense organized without forcing the action[3][4]. If a team wants composure, spacing, and unselfish play, she’s worth a look[3][4].
