Syracuse Basketball: TBT built it, Orange fans came, and the rest is history

We will stand and clap for the first basket when Boeheim’s Army, that collection of former Syracuse basketball players and other stars, takes to The Basketball Tournament (TBT) court Saturday in Illinois (Noon ET, ESPN), to begin its seventh run at the $1 million, winner-take-all, prize.

It’s win or go home for the predominantly Syracuse hoops alumni team in the brilliantly conceived TBT, which was founded by mastermind Jon Mugar in 2014.

And If, no, WHEN we do finally win it all, it will be the culmination of a beautiful shared vision.
