Daughter like father. All her life freshman guard Alexis Brewer has emulated her father James “Boo” Brewer’s love for basketball. It all started at the age of three, when Brewer picked up her first basketball. She launched her career in fourth grade, as she started AAU basketball with a dream to be just like her father – a college basketball player.
Growing up, Brewer was always surrounded by the game of basketball – even if that game took her and her family 3,000 miles across the ocean. Her father played collegiate basketball at Louisville, from 1988-93, and then played professionally overseas for several years.
