Ed McCants and his group of Milwaukee Panther basketball alumni are not only playing to represent their school, they are also playing for a greater cause. The team has announced it will donate $200,000 to help combat the heroin epidemic should they win.
 
Over the course of the rest of the month of May we will look at the roster that has been assembled. Up next is Clay Tucker.
 
Tucker finished his career as the leading scorer in program history with 1,788 points and still holds career records for field goals made (614) and attempted (1,504), three-pointers made (264) and attempted (744) as well as steals (194). Tucker repeated as a First-Team All-Horizon League honoree as a senior after scoring 18.3 points per game his final season, leading UWM to its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2003.
 
After a UWM career in which he averaged 16.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.7 steals per game, Tucker has gone on to enjoy a long professional career overseas, as well as time in the United States in the American Basketball Association and the NBA D-League. In his honor, head coach LaVall Jordan recently announced the yearly Team MVP Award is now called the "Clay Tucker Most Valuable Player Award".
