Energized Carmen's Crew Dominates Men of Mackey in 80-69 Victory
Carmen's Crew, Ohio State's alumni team, secured an impressive 80-69 victory against Men of Mackey in the TBT Tournament, showcasing significant improvement from their previous performance.
The team's defensive intensity, led by William Bufford and David Lighty, successfully contained Mackey's key players Kelsey Barlow and Robbie Hummel. This marked a strategic shift from their earlier round where they relied primarily on offense.
Bufford emerged as the standout performer with 19 points and seven rebounds. Jon Diebler found his rhythm from three-point range, converting 3 of 6 attempts. Aaron Craft and Evan Ravenel made impactful contributions despite limited minutes, with Craft's defensive prowess and confident point guard play particularly notable.
Jeff Gibbs dominated the interior battle against Hummel, who struggled to contain Gibbs' physical presence in the paint. The team's chemistry continued to strengthen throughout the game, suggesting potential for further improvement as the tournament progresses.
Carmen's Crew will return to action Tuesday at 9 PM, facing the winner between Team Hines and The Money Team.
