Class of 2010 Wins Alumni Basketball Tournament

Another great year of the alumni basketball tournament is in the books. We had great participation as over 80 players split into 11 teams stepped on the hardwood. Those teams were classes of 1999-2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2017-18, and of course the prime time 1970s vs. 1980s All-Star Game.

The path for the champion 2010 squad began with a matchup against the 2017-18 squad who made their first appearance in the alumni tournament. This was followed by victories over 2013 and 2005 on Day 1. A defeat of the defending champs, 1999-2001, early on Day 2, propelled them to the championship where they would again defeat the 1999-2001 squad who fought their way through the losers’ bracket to the championship game. This is the first championship for the class of 2010.

A special thank you to Joe Novak, ‘03, who did a tremendous job putting this all together!
