The McGuffs are a basketball family

Kilyn McGuff is the daughter of Kevin McGuff and Letitia Bowen. Basketball is so engrained in the family that she also plays the sport.

Kilyn is a junior guard with the Belmont Bruins. Earlier in the season, she clashed with her father's team in an 84-55 Buckeyes victory. Kevin McGuff said the following about her ahead of the encounter:

“My wife and I are extremely proud of her. She’s done an amazing job. She’s really growing on and off the court, so just really happy to see it all.”

Kilyn McGuff kept it simpler:

"We’re about a basketball family as it gets."

She played 32 minutes, scoring four points and netting two assists and six rebounds.

Those numbers were a bit below her averages from the ongoing season. She's scoring 8.8 points and getting 1.2 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game in 2023-24, while her field goal percentage stands at 40.9%.
