The Tournament: Fighting Alumni

[Henges24]

The alumni are playing right now on ESPN U for anyone that is wondering. Won the tournament in last years game. Down 17-25.

New additions to this years team are Harangody, Tori Jackson (still a beast), Eric Atkins, Hansbourgh, Carleton Scott (surprised he's there) and a few more. Looks like they lost a few of the older guys like Jordan Cornette who was a big part of last years team.

Typical ND basketball game going on here. Exciting and going down to the wire. Eric Atkins with a huge And 1 to take the lead by one with 10.7 seconds to go. Free throw pending.

ERIC ATKINS with the game winning layup at the buzzer. Beautiful pass by Ben Hansbourgh.

ND wins 79-77

I believe they play tomorrow night against the #2 seed, which is a team that won a NBDL title a couple of seasons ago. Pretty tough draw for the defending champs.

Ben Hansborough was great. Some things never change. I really miss watching him play for the Irish. Hopefully harangody plays today.

The Alumni are already out of the tournament

Lost in overtime last night, they had some sloppy turnovers late in the game that kept then from advancing. Hansbrough hit some big shots and Eric Atkins played pretty well. Everyone else looked tired.

Oh bummer...well that's disappointing. Did harangody play?

nope, not sure if he is/was injured at all, but he was on the bench in uniform for both games. I think he could have helped yesterday as they didn't get much from the bigs that did play outside of Nash.

He was playing in the Summer League I believe...not sure if he's currently under contract and can't play. He may have been there just to see everyone.
