The Tournament Offers Reunion of Buffs Basketball Alums

There is, my fellow fans, a way to see the Buffs of lore team up once again on the hardwood. This opportunity would be realized with ESPN coverage of the The Basketball Tournament, "an open-application, five-on-five, single elimination, winner-take-all basketball tournament."

There are 97 teams attempting to take part, some alumni teams like the Buffs and some like The Global Select, who recruited random players with no direct affiliation with each other. Of the notable alumni teams will be Syracuse, Virginia, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Indiana and Xavier (feature recent star Matt Stainbrook, who you need to see play some time in your life). The Colorado Buffs Alumni, as they will be called in this competition, are already signed up with a full roster. The Buffs roster is nostalgic of both the Big XII struggles and the 2012 Pac-12 Champs.

The full roster:

Jeremy Adams, 2011-13

Sabatino Chen, 2011-13

Austin Dufault, 2008-12

Beau Gamble, 2012-14

Marcus Hall, 2004-08

Marcus King-Stockton, 2004-08

Marcus Relphorde, 2009-11

Dwight Thorne II, 2007-10
