Rebounding key to Golden Eagles Alumni’s fate in The Basketball Tournament

Head coach Joe Chapman has made it clear that his team will not be caught off-guard by a post-heavy team for a third year in a row.

“They all have pretty good bigs, so we have to be ready for that,” Chapman said. “We have to have (bigger players) on our roster just in case we have those games where we need them.”

But avoiding another loss in the second weekend will be more complicated than adding a few big players.

Golden Eagles Alumni had a 174-143 scoring advantage in the first two games, but opponents out-rebounded Marquette’s alumni team 72-64.
