The official bracket for the 2021 TBT (The Basketball Tournament) was unveiled on Monday. And, if you’ll remember, Columbus is hosting a regional with the Ohio State alumni squad known as Carmen’s Crew as the main attraction.
The games in the Columbus region are set to take place between July 23 through 27. Carmen’s Crew will get its journey started against No. 16 seed Mid-America Unity which is comprised of players from — as you guessed — the MAC. That game is set for a 9 p.m tip in the Covelli Center on July 23.
If Carmen’s Crew gets past Mid-America Unity, its next game will be against the winner of the Purdue Alumni team known as Men of Mackey, and the Tennessee alumni team named Ballinteers at 4 p.m on July 25. From there, teams will advance to the regional finals still in Columbus on July 27 at 7 p.m.

After the regional finals, teams that advance will relocate to Dayton for the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals. The team that wins it all will take home $2 million.
We’re still waiting for any final additions to the team, but for now, the path is set.
