Chane Behanan

Chane Behanan is a two time final four participant and national champion who was a beloved Cardinal.

Behanan’s career at Louisville ended abruptly after he was dismissed from the team following repeated violations of team rules mid-season in 2014.

Still, he is a guy who has some serious talent and motor and could make a huge impact for the Cards. He spent his first few years as a professional trying to make NBA rosters before ultimately signing a contract to play overseas.

Most notably, however, Behanan was a participant in the 2018 TBT tournament as a member of the Tim Thomas Playaz, who lost in the first round. He scored 12 points and had 8 rebounds in the contest.

Behanan could bring some team comradery and TBT experience to the Louisville squad.
