After having to grind out two victories in The Basketball Tournament (“TBT”), the Boeheim’s Army roster of former Syracuse basketball players and other stars had a bit more of a comfortable margin to work with in the tourney’s Sweet 16 on Wednesday night from Peoria, Ill.
Squaring off with No. 7 seed Always A Brave, a Bradley alumni squad, the No. 3 seed Boeheim’s Army continued its run of strong defensive performances in picking up a 69-54 conquest.
That result puts Boeheim’s Army in the TBT’s Elite Eight, and the team is one step closer to the $1 million, winner-take-all prize in this entertaining summer event.
