And a special alumni returned for the last game, former Missouri State star Kyle Weems.
Weems signed a professional basketball contract with Telekom Bonn out of Germany.
This after he spent the last couple of weeks in the Golden State Warrior and Toronto Raptors summer league camps.
Weems feels that his opportunities in the summer league were limited.
The 2011 Valley player of the year says he would rather develop his skills in Europe playing for Telekom then in the NBA D-league.
And says he learned a lot in the summer league.
"It's a tough environment to try to show your skills," said Kyle Weems. "But I think that I did what I needed to do to be out there a little more. I didn't shoot it the way I wanted to. But overall it was a great experience. It pretty much is a dog eat dog world. My years are getting numbered as you get older, everybody knows that. No knock to the D League but it's something I didn't want to pursue right now, maybe in the years to come. I have a good opportunity to get some good minutes on a good team. And try to get out there a little bit more.."
