After hitting the game-winning shot to send the Golden Eagles Alumni to the semifinals of The Basketball Tournament (TBT), Marquette alum Travis Diener told ESPN’s Jennifer Hale he was planning to sleep and “drink some beer” between Sunday and the semifinals Thursday.
“A bunch of different (beers),” Diener later explained. “Some local Atlanta beers that I took a liking to.”
Now Marquette’s alumni team is hoping to have more money for those local brews, standing two games away from TBT’s $2 million prize.
“You always have that in the back of your mind,” guard Maurice Acker said.
