Chase Budinger wins AVP beach volleyball championship

Chase Budinger starred on the hardwood while at the University of Arizona, but these days he is crushing it on the beach.

More specifically, Budinger is playing volleyball, and on Sunday claimed the first-ever AVP championship alongside teammate Casey Patterson. Budinger and Patterson knocked off a team made up of Ryan Doherty and Miles Evans.

While Arizona fans are familiar with Budinger due to his high-flying dunks for men’s basketball, he excelled at volleyball for La Costa Canyon High School. So, that he is having success on the sand is not much of a surprise.
