Minneapolis, MN – The Grace Christian University men's basketball team concluded their season last Friday against Bob Jones University in the NCCAA DII National Tournament consolation bracket, falling to the #2 seed, 82-68.
 
Senior Ethan Clason led the Tigers for the second straight game in scoring with 13 points. Senior Parker Neu finished his career with 12 points, none more significant than his final basket which put him at 1,000 points in his collegiate career dating back to his freshman season at Alpena Community College.
 
#1 seed Crown College would go on to defeat #3 North Central 75-72 in the 2024 NCCAA DII National Championship game, who the Tigers lost to in the quarterfinal.
 
Despite not seeing the results they targeted in the National Tournament, the Tigers finish their 2023-24 campaign with an 18-14 record and a regional championship on their resume. They bid farewell to a fantastic class of seniors, which included Ethan Clason, Ty Thiel, Nate Blasko, Parker Neu, and Melvin Frazier.
