Golden Eagles Alumni (GEA) will enter The Basketball Tournament much differently this year.
Last time, they were a No. 6 seed playing an Illinois Hoopville Warriors team that reached the tournament’s second weekend twice. Now they’re the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region and will take on the Midwest Dream Squad, according to the newly released 2017 TBT bracket.
Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, July 15 at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. Second-round games are the following day. GEA’s Super 16 game, should they make it that far, would be in Brooklyn, New York somewhere between July 20 and 22.
