BOSTON - Two former NM State men's basketball stars are hoping to parlay their professional roundball talents into a million-dollar payday this summer.
Former Aggie greats Troy Gillenwater and Jemerrio Jones saw their respective teams get selected to participate in the 2021 edition of The Basketball Tournament Monday morning. The 64-team single-elimination tournament is in its eighth year of existence and will see its winning squad take home a $1 million prize.
Jones is one of 10 players on an Armored Athlete squad which has drawn the fourth overall seed in the West Virginia region.
