UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. - The Saginaw Valley State Men's Basketball program has announced the re-naming of their Roundball Club for Christopher Jacobi, who started at point guard for the Cardinals in 1990-1994. Chris, 49, passed away early in the morning on September 5th, 2021. He leaves behind his wife, Morgan, and their four children, Titus, Lucy, Livie, and Jack. Chris was not only a talented player on the court – finishing in the record books for career assists, career made 3's, and career steals – but a standout person off of it.
The program is proud to officially launch the Christopher Jacobi Roundball Club, which will serve as the support group for SVSU Men's Basketball. The funds generated through the Christopher Jacobi Roundball Club are vital in developing the type of quality program that the Cardinal Basketball Family — which includes alumni, parents, friends, and fans — will feel proud to support and that the student-athletes deserve.
The Men's Basketball program is focused on consistently competing for GLIAC championships. In order to be a perennial contender for banners and rings, the resources and funds must be there. The Christopher Jacobi Roundball Club is essential to helping the program reach its maximum potential. The coaching staff and student-athletes ask you to please consider making a donation to help push the program to new heights.
