Bio

Bernard Alexander's name is scattered through the NASC/MCLA Men's Basketball record book for statistics on both ends of the court. As of this writing, his 1906 career points rank second only to his 1987-1990 teammate Phil Bledsoe. He is second in career rebounds with 1068 and is one of only three Trailblazers to cross the 1000 rebound mark. On the defensive end, he ranks first with 221 blocked shots and second with 234 steals. It was not a matter of accumulating numbers over the course of his four seasons; he also had individual seasons that stand out in the record book. He twice crossed the 500-point mark in a season (523 in 1987-88 and 521 in 1989-90), the 324 rebounds he gathered during the 1986-87 season still stands third as all-time, his 87 steals during the 1988-89 season remains a program standard, and his 65 blocks during the 1988-89 season was the standard until it was passed by Dakari Hannah-Wornum 2015-16.

Alexander helped lead North Adams State College (NASC) to four straight MASCAC championships and four straight NCAA Division III tournament appearances, including the 1990 run to the national quarterfinals.

He was honored with a selection as a two-time All-American, four-time All-Conference, three-time All-New England, and a two-time NABC All-Star Selection.
