Ben Coupet Jr. will be playing in The Basketball Tournament for the Air Raiders in the Wichita Regional July 22-28. The Air Raiders are the Texas Tech alumni team competing in the TBT. It will be fun to watch a Saluki playing in July! ESPN TV coverage is noted for each game on the schedule linked below.

This is cool and all, but how is it he is playing for a Texas Tech alumni team?
Not sure of the TBT rules. It appears alumni teams can invite any player they want to play for them.
I do remember Kavion Pippen played in TBT for the Arkansas Alumni team. At least Kavion was born and raised in Arkansas.
1st Quarter in progress. Coupet getting minutes!
Ben Coupet Jr. scored 3 points for the Chicago Bulls against the Toronto Raptors in their first Summer League game today. Coupet played for 12:49 minutes in the Bulls 83 to 74 victory. The Bulls have several more games scheduled in the next 10 days of Summer League in Las Vegas.
I really do not watch NBA games, but when a Saluki is involved that makes it acceptable.
I didn’t realize he led the Valley in 3 pt shooting last year.
year before last - Ben was 41.1% overall but 44.6% in MVC play. He only shot 74 times as compared to AJ Green (5th at 40%) with 130 attempts and Lance at 106.
Lance Jones was 6th in MVC play at 39.6%, far cry better than last season.
Lance who?
