The Basketball Tournament to Be Held in Columbus from July 4-14

Carmen's Crew will get the chance to defend its title in its home city.

The Basketball Tournament announced Thursday that this year's edition of TBT, which will feature 24 teams and will all be played in one venue due to COVID-19, will be held at Columbus' Nationwide Arena from July 4-14.

According to a release from Nationwide Arena, fans will not be permitted to attend the tournament. All participants in this year's TBT will be tested for COVID-19 and quarantined for the duration of the tournament, and any positive tests will result in the removal of that participant's team from the tournament in order to provide a safe environment for other participants.
