Former IU players Remy Abell and Maurice Creek come up short in The Basketball Tournament title game

The fairytale run for Remy Abell, Maurice Creek and Sideline Cancer in The Basketball Tournament (TBT) ended one victory short of a storybook ending.

After winning four games as the No. 22 seed in the 24-team tournament to reach Tuesday night’s championship game, Sideline Cancer lost to the No. 4 seed Golden Eagles, 78-73.

It was a tight contest throughout, as Sideline Cancer held one-point leads at the end of the first, second and third quarters before Golden Eagles surged ahead during the Elam Ending period.

Golden Eagles also defeated Sideline Cancer in the third round of the 2019 TBT.
