CCU Basketball Team: Ambassadors of Christ

CCU Exemplifies Christ in Boston!
-Boston, Massachusetts-May, 2001

In it's inaugural tournament, at the North American Chinese Nationals, two CCU teams displayed Christlike character while playing with athletism that surprised many.

Jason Lee's back to back 3's were key in CCU's win vs. Boston.

The men's team reached the final four in the men's open division that consisted of 24 teams. With 11 players on the roster, the men's team average height was somewhere around a dwarf-like 5'9". While each of their opponents featured at least 2 players over 6'2". How did the men's team advance so far? Defense. A simple full court press that kept their opponents off-balance throughout the whole game. 4 out of the 6 games, thier opponents were held to 13 points in the second half. Their opponents did not break the 50 point mark until the final four game where New York scored 55 points enroute to a heart-breaking 2 point victory to end CCU's bid to play Alpine Little Horse in the championship. Jeremy Lee lead all scorers with a tournament average of 17.5 points per game. Jeremy was the youngest and tallest player (5'10") on the team.
