The Basketball Tournament (TBT) – the $1 million, winner-take-all summer basketball event broadcast live on ESPN networks – today revealed that Boeheim's Army, the Syracuse University alumni team, has been admitted into TBT's 24-team field. All TBT games this summer will be played under quarantine at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, from July 4-14.
This year's TBT will be Boeheim's Army sixth year in the competition. The team once again is organized by former student manager Kevin Belbey, and former Syracuse standout Ryan Blackwell (1997-00) will continue to serve as the team's head coach. The Boeheim's Army current roster includes:
- Demetris Nichols (2003-07)
- Donte Greene (2007-08)
- Chris McCullough (2015-16)
- Malachi Richardson (2015-16)
- John Gillon (2016-17)
- Tyler Lydon (2016-17)
- Andrew White III (2016-17)
Boeheim's Army is the only roster in TBT this year to include four former NBA first-round picks (Greene, McCullough, Richardson and Lydon).
