Alumni Game on 2/17

[skianth16]

Has anyone seen any more information on the alumni game being played on Friday? In theory this could be a fun event, especially since some of the guys from the McGuire days will be on hand. But with so many alums listed for the game, I can't help but wonder how this will play out.

And maybe with the NBA All-Star break being the same weekend, we might get a chance to see some more recent players attend, even if they won't suit up for the alumni game.

I hadnt seen this list yet- thanks for posting. 

Makes me remember when Aaron Hutchins and Marcus West were patrolling the back court.  For some reason I think they even made it into an SI feature.

It's an interesting group, but I like the idea. I'm not 100% sold on seeing guys like Frozena and Jake Thomas alongside greats like Bo Ellis and Earl Tatum for the event, but I guess they need a few younger guys if there is actually going to be a game.

Fun concept but would prefer the TBT roster and some other guys than seeing half the retreads jog up and down.

But maybe they can still dunk at 60 years old who knows

A lot of Warrior greats are beginning to hit down. Should be an awesome weekend.

Those guys all got professional jobs elsewhere though.

MUBB game over Kentucky 1994 2nd round on local Time Warner cable, what a watch last night.  MU fans in attendance having such a great time postseason, truly missed.  Had forgotten about that painful year prior when Logtermann was our point, that was a lost year for sure.

Does anyone if MU is going to have that alumni team in the summer again?

They have said as much. But who knows if everyone's schedules will allow.

Does the University get involved with TBT? I was under the impression that it was all player-driven. Wasn't Fitzgerald kind of in charge of that this past summer?

Also, does anyone know anything about how the tournament sites are picked? I went down to Chicago last summer, and the gym kind of sucked. If MU could host games at the Al, I think that we'd get a decent turn-out, with or without an MU alumni team.

Diener coached a game. So im sure the university is the one who is trying to put it on. The ones who were close to the university were the most active. (Fitz, Diener, Novak , Matthews)

[MuMark]

I believe MU asked Fitz to be the guy to organize it.
