KENT, Ohio – Three former Kent State University men's basketball players are set to compete for Mid American Unity in The Basketball Tournament (TBT), a winner-takes-all 64-team single elimination tournament for $2 million.
Former Flash Michael Porrini serves as the point guard and general manager for Mid American Unity, and has organized a squad that includes Justin Manns and Jay Youngblood.
"I'm honored to play in the TBT and be able to put not only Mid American Unity under the spotlight, but Kent State athletics as well," said Porrini. "This is a huge opportunity to display our talent and come together to represent Northeast Ohio.
