Men’s basketball reflects on historic Great Alaska Shootout

Kentucky, North Carolina, Michigan State, UCLA, Duke and Kansas have all went to the Great Alaska Shootout, competed and walked away with a championship trophy in hand.

However, there is one aspect of the Great Alaska Shootout which sets Central Michigan apart from the rest – the final championship.

“It’s such a historic tournament and means a lot to win the last one,” CMU head coach Keno Davis said. “Not only to be there, but to play well and earn a championship is something they will remember for a long, long time. We jumped at the chance when there was an opening for the tournament and I’m glad we did.
