VINCENNES, Ind. – The Vincennes University Trailblazer men’s basketball program has had some recent success searching for talent north of the border and will look to continue this trend during the 2021-22 season after signing 6-foot-1 point guard Marcus Clarke-Moore earlier this week. Marcus played last season for Aim High Prep in South Carolina, a team that the Trailblazers scrimmaged just before the 2020-21 season, although Marcus did not play in that game. Marcus would however lead Aim High this past season by averaging 21.7 points, 5.2 assists and three rebounds per game.
HUTCHINSON, Kan. – The 2021 Vincennes University Trailblazer season came to an end Monday afternoon after VU fell in the opening round of the 2021 NJCAA Division I Men’s Basketball tournament to Holmes (Miss.) 71-66. VU got off to a slow start offensively, falling behind 9-3 early, before going on a 7-0 scoring run to take the lead. The Bulldogs answered back with a 6-0 scoring run of their own and held the lead the rest of the half, heading into the break with a 37-31 advantage.
