The TBT is still on, and the 24-team field should include Boeheim’s Army

Boeheim’s Army is likely to hear its name called when the TBT unveils its smaller field.

Boeheim’s Army, with its loaded roster that continues to grow, will almost certainly get a shot this summer to capture the $2 million, winner-take-all The Basketball Tournament (“TBT”).

Event organizers said on Wednesday that the TBT will move forward, albeit in a different format, due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Rather than 64 squads, with eight crews in eight different regions, including one in the Syracuse area, the TBT will hold a 24-team field at one site over 10 days this summer.
