With $2 million and an opportunity to repeat as The Basketball Tournament champions on the line, former St. John's studs D.J. Kennedy and Paris Horne helped Overseas Elite defeat Team Colorado, 77-72, at Rose Hill Gym on the campus of Fordham University.
Thanks to Kennedy's aggressiveness on both ends of the floor and Horne's defensive effort, Overseas Elite was able to overcome a 20-point first half deficit.
Kennedy finished with 18 points on 5-of-15 shooting, eight rebounds and four steals, while Horne dropped nine points on 2-of-6 shooting, grabbed two rebounds and dished out three assists.
But both players had an impact on the game that went beyond just their stat line.
