2016 The Basketball Tournament: Golden Eagles Alumni 82, Armored Athlete 71

Darius Johnson-Odom drilled a dagger of a three-pointer on a broken play late and Golden Eagles Alumni, the squad of former Marquette players, held on for the 82-71 win over the #7 seed Armored Athlete in the Super 16 round of the 2016 edition of The Basketball Tournament. #6 seed GEA advances to the tournament’s quarterfinals on Saturday night, where they’ll play Always A Brave, a team of Bradley University alums.

It was a back and forth affair, with neither side really getting anything resembling an advantage until DJO remembered he’s actually 3JO late in the game.
