EAST STROUDSBURG - Former East Stroudsburg University men's basketball standout Duane Johnson competed in The Basketball Tournament, a national 64-team five-on-five tournament with a two million dollar prize for the champion, this weekend in Philadelphia.

Johnson (Landsdowne, Pa./Penn Wood), playing for Sideline Cancer for the second straight year, had a big game in an upset win in the first round, before falling in the second round in the Northeast Regional contested in Philadelphia.

Johnson had 25 points and 12 rebounds as the No. 12 seed advanced with a 100-87 win over No. 5 seed Zoo Crew, comprised primarily of former University of Pittsburgh standouts, on Saturday. He shot 9-for-11 from the field, 7-for-9 at the foul line and had two assists, a steal and a block in 32 minutes.

He had 12 points and seven rebounds in an 82-75 loss to No. 4 seed Team FOE, comprised of 10 former Division I players, including three from the University of Kansas and coached by NBA player Markieff Morris, on Sunday.

Johnson has re-signed with Black Star Mersch, in Luxembourg's second division, for a second year for the upcoming 2017-18 season.

Johnson, entering his fourth professional season, averaged 26.1 points per game in 16 games in an injury-shortened season last winter.

During the 2015-16 season, he was named to the Basketball Ireland Premier League first team after leading the league in scoring and rebounding for DCU Saints, based in Dublin. He posted 26.2 points per game, 18.7 rebounds per game, 3.9 assists (12th in the league), 2.6 steals (5th) and 3.1 blocks (2nd) across 12 contests.

In his four years at ESU (2010-13), Johnson was the third three-time All-PSAC East selection in program history, joining Jonathan Roberts and Lonnie White. Rasheed Moore became ESU's first four-time All-PSAC East selection in 2017.
