—————————————————————
Notre Dame will be Konstantynovskyi’s fourth college program. After attending Secondary School No. 163 in Kyiv, Ukraine, Konstantynovskyi landed at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, a junior college in Miami, Okla. He started 19 games and averaged 8.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game as a freshman. He upped those totals to 11.1 and 8.0, respectively, the following season.
Konstantynovskyi then transferred to Tulsa. He started nine games and played in 27 of them in his first season at Tulsa with modest stats — 2.0 points and 2.7 rebounds per game. An injury limited his second season at Tulsa, 2022-23, to just two games, which qualified him for a redshirt season.
At Monmouth, Konstantynovskyi played a significant role on a team that improved its win total by 11 games from the previous season. The Hawks (18-15, 10-8) climbed from dead last in the Coastal Athletic Association in 2022-23 with only five conference wins.
