What Would a Buffalo TBT Team Look Like?
Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports The Basketball Tournament is a summertime event where teams are put together comprised of primarily American players that are playing overseas. These teams then compete in a single elimination tournament for a $1,000,000 prize.
A trend in the composition of these teams has been for alumni of a school to put together a nucleus of players, and round out the team with a few non-alumni players. In the COVID-19 trimmed field of 24 teams, nine of the teams were “Alumni teams” with Syracuse, Marquette, Oklahoma State, Clemson, Ohio State, Illinois, Purdue, Dayton, and Marshall represented.
