Former North Carolina Tar Heel [autotag]JP Tokoto[/autotag] delivered a game-winner Saturday night, moving TBT’s Herd That team three games away from winning one million dollars.
Tokoto is a member of the Herd That, the tournament’s fourth seed. Saturday’s game was a matchup against second-seeded Sideline Cancer.
The tournament rules are unique. The outcome is a targeted score instead of the scheduled clock time. In this scenario, the target score was 73. With Herd That in control, 71-64, Tokoto delivered the game-winning shot on a tightly contested layup.

The game-winner pushed Herd That into the quarterfinals with a matchup against Boeheim’s Army. The team led by Syracuse alumni Chris McCullough should present a good matchup; both teams breezed through their first two games.
The game will tip off at 4 p.m. Eastern time on ESPN+.
