2016 The Basketball Tournament: Golden Eagles Alumni 97, Spartan Heroes 70

The Marquette alums roll to an easy victory over the team of former Michigan State Spartans.

A personal 11-0 run by Joe Chapman midway through the first half blew open an already lopsided game as Golden Eagles Alumni knocked off Spartan Heroes, 97-70, in the second round of the 2016 edition of The Basketball Tournament. With the win, the team of Marquette alums advance to the Super 16 in Philadelphia where they’ll play Armored Athlete on either Thursday, July 21 or Friday, July 22.

GEA was already up double digits by the time that I got my feed fired up a few minutes into the game, and it just kept booming from there.
