TBT 2020: A Kentucky Fan’s Guide To Basketball’s Return

On Saturday, The Basketball Tournament, aka TBT, will tip off, giving sports fans their first taste of real, live basketball in America since the coronavirus pandemic began. Over ten days, 24 teams will face off in a fully-quarantined environment in Columbus, Ohio, with the winning squad taking home $1 million. Games will be broadcast on ESPN with a star-studded lineup of announcers on the call, including Dan Dakich, Seth Greenberg, and Fran Fraschilla. Once again, the TBT will feature the popular “Elam Ending,” which eliminates the game clock after a certain point and features teams playing towards a target score.
