If you have been reading Xavier Twitter in the summer months you could be forgiven for thinking that The Basketball Tournament was about to get underway. Even here we are gearing up to watch JP Macura and Trevon Bluiett take the floor again under the watchful eyes of Dee Davis. The reality, though, is that while Team Zip Em Up has yet to play, the quarterfinals of TBT are nearly set.
TBT takes place in four regionals, just like the NCAA tournament. The major difference, in addition to the rule changes, professionals playing, the Elam Ending, and a host of other things, is that The Basketball Tournament doesn’t take place all at the same time.
