Roger Brown’s Restaurant and Sports Bar

Roster: Aric Holman (Mississippi State), Cameron Jackson (Wofford) Christian James (Oklahoma), Jon Konchar (Fort Wayne), Isaiah Pinero (San Diego), Marcquise Reed (Clemson), Kerwin Roach (Texas), and Milik Yarbrough (llinois State).

Make that TWO mid-major teammate duos making it here with Jackson, the smooth but undersized Terriers big man. Konchar was the best player in the country that no one had heard of. Reed, a two-time All-ACC performer, is one one of the most talented players in the field. Roach was one of the heroes of Texas’ NIT championship win. Illinois State might have had a hugely disappointing season, but Yarbrough is still a solid professional prospect.

Norfolk Sports Club

Roster: Shizz Alston Jr. (Temple), Joshua Reeves (Penn State), Sandy Cohen (Green Bay), Matt Morgan (Cornell), Trey Mourning (Georgetown), Dylan Osetkowski (Texas), James Palmer Jr (Nebraska), and James Thompson IV (Eastern Michigan). 

This team has some size with Osetkowski, Thompson, and Mourning (who has some obvious NBA pedigree). Morgan led the Ivy League in scoring for four straight years, a first. Palmer might be Nebraska’s best NBA prospect in a decade. Alston led Temple to an improbable NCAA bid.
