Live basketball is back folks, and it’s by way of the winner-take-all basketball tournament known as — well, The Basketball Tournament.
You no doubt are aware that the Ohio State alumni squad that goes by the name of Carmen’s Crew won the whole thing last summer, and that it’s back for another run in Columbus for this year’s TBT. The squad certainly has some of the key players back, but there are some additions as well. After all, when so much money is on the line, you better look to get better because teams chasing you are sure putting efforts towards doing so.
So how is this year’s team shaping up? You’ll still see staples like Aaron Craft, William Buford, Jon Diebler, and David Lighty, but coach Jared Sullinger believes this team is better because of some of the players added.
“I think we got better just because we got bigger and we got Elam Ending (end of game format for the TBT) enders,” said Sullinger. “You got Deshaun Thomas, you have Dallas Lauderdale we added from coach to player, you got Malik Dime — we just got better across the board. We got ten guys we can play every night, every day, and be prepared to make a run with whoever’s out there on the floor with our team.”
