A bunch of Oregon men’s basketball alumni came together last summer and competed for a million-dollar prize in The Basketball Tournament made up of 64 teams in eight different regions.
Team Always Us, the Oregon squad, has announced they have signed Jacob Young to the roster. They made their tournament debut last summer and won a game before falling to Autism Army in the second round.
Young averaged 12 points and 3.4 assists a game in his only season at Oregon.
This version of Team Always Us will be led by EJ Singler and Johnathan Loyd with current Duck assistant coach Mike Mennenga helming the sideline.
Team Always Us, taken from Dana Altman’s saying of “Sometimes you. Sometimes me. Always us,” will open up in the Omaha Region as the 4-seed playing 5-seed Jackson TN Underdawgs. The game will be on July 16 at 3 p.m. PST and will be televised on one of the ESPN channels.
