Tiefenthaler, a 6-foot-9 post/forward will join the Cavalier squad after spending the 2007-08 season at NCAA Division I Portland State. Prior to his arrival at PSU, Tiefenthaler, played one season at the University of Portland. Tiefenthaler will have two years of eligibility remaining and will provide needed size on the Cavalier frontline.
Tiefenthaler was part of the 2007-08 Portland State team that went 23-10 and won the Big Sky Conference Championship and advanced to the NCAA tournament. Tiefenthaler was named Player of the Game in Portland State’s first-round NCAA tournament loss to the University of Kansas after scoring 10 points against the eventual national champion Jayhawks.
During his one season at the University of Portland Tiefenthaler started five games and notched a career high 15 points and nine rebounds versus the University of San Diego.
Tiefenthaler prepped at Bethel High School in Spanaway, Wash., and helped lead the Braves to the 2005 Washington 4A state championship. Tiefenthaler averaged 14.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game his senior season. He was named first-team all-state and earned all-South Puget Sound League Honors as a junior and senior. Tiefenthaler will be reunited at CU with his former Bethel High School teammate Desmond Meray. Meray returns for his senior season as the Cavalier’s leading scorer.
“We are thrilled to have a player of Alex’s talent join us,” Barbarick said. “Alex will bring an immediate presence to our team with his skills and size. He will also bring versatility to our team as he can play inside and outside and is a tremendous shooter. I look forward to the next two years of having Alex as part of our basketball family he has the chance to have a major impact as a student-athlete at Concordia.”
