LZIp Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 We have a few Zips basketball alumni participating in The Basketball Tournament, in which all of the games will be broadcasted on ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPN3 depending on the round. Similar to last year, we have players on the Canton Bulldogs squad. Those players are the infamous Demetrius Treadwell and Nick Harney. https://www.thetournament.com/teams/canton-bulldogs Additionally, we also have a player on VCU's Alumni team, Ram Nation. That player is Romeo Travis. I am not sure of the connection there, and I don't care to look it up. https://www.thetournament.com/teams/ram-nation-vcu-alumni Is anyone else aware of any other players participating? The play-in Jamboree starts this weekend and then the whole thing kicks off on July 8th. 2 Quote

But, these guys won us a resounding MAC Title and MAC Tournament Title. And one of them was tourney MVP. I'll go with "famous" 1 hour ago, LZIp said: That player is Romeo Travis. I am not sure of the connection there, and I don't care to look it up. He played at Akron when Shaka was an asst. coach here. That's the only VCU/Romeo connection I can possible think of. Quote
zippy5 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 He probably plays abroad with someone on that team Quote

Zip Watcher Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 It's worth your time to look up some of these games. Some high level basketball being played in some of them. Quincy Diggs looked quite good in the Matadors' first game. I haven't seen the 2nd game, which was a competitive loss to the 2-time defending champs, as of yet. Quote
LZIp Posted July 15, 2017 Author Report Posted July 15, 2017 The Canton Bulldogs came up just short against the K State alumni. Tree led all teams in points I believe. Harvey was in double figures but fouled out with about a minute left. The Bulldogs sort of let it slip away at the end though. Quote
