Carrying on Kansas State’s proud basketball legacy, Purple Reign — the men’s basketball alumni team — pulled off a thrilling 85–84 victory over The Shine to advance in The Basketball Tournament (TBT).
The team is once again competing for TBT’s $1 million, winner-take-all prize — this year co-hosting the Kansas City Regional at Municipal Auditorium from July 19–23.
The 64-team single-elimination tournament features alumni teams from across the country, with the champion claiming the $1 million prize.
In Saturday’s intense matchup, Purple Reign trailed for much of the game but stayed resilient, forcing a dramatic finish.
