Minutemen in The Tournament 2022

Post by MikeUMA » Thu Jul 07, 2022 3:18 pm

The Basketball Tournament is coming up. According to their site, a few former Minutemen are in the field.

Curtis Cobb, UM 2018-19 https://thetournament.com/players/curtis-cobb
Gary Forbes, 2006-08 https://thetournament.com/players/gary-forbes
Izzy Freeman, 2012-13 https://thetournament.com/players/isaac-freeman
Raphiael Putney, 2010-14 https://thetournament.com/players/raphiael-putney
Trey Davis, 2012-16 https://thetournament.com/players/trey-davis

Forbes was the most accomplished, as the A-10 Player of the Year in 2007-08, and played a couple years in the NBA.

Putney, who scored 1019 points at UM, has had a long career in pro ball. According to Basketball-Reference.com, he's the career leader in blocks in the G League.

Davis scored 1353 points at UM, blossoming from just 3.3 ppg as a freshman, to 18.7 ppg as a senior, which was 4th in the Atlantic 10.

Trey and Curtis are on the same team https://thetournament.com/teams/ygc/

Its absolutely amazing that Gary Forbes still plays professionally. He was such a good player at UMass that often gets overlooked when people talk about great players from the school. Especially when you consider he is diabetic

Love Trey & Put. Still grinding.

Great picture of Gary guarding Kobe. Who knew there was professional basketball in Vietnam?

Mike Manix is coaching the team with Trey Davis and Chris Cobb. Really feel we need to start a fan movement to get a UMass alumni team together

Trey Davis fouled shooting a 3, hits all 3 to win the game for his team just now.
