All the speculation and conjecture can now be put to the side. Yeah, we’re excited about college football and the restart to many of the other professional sports, but before all of that, we’ll get a chance to see the winner-take-all tournament known as The Basketball Tournament. It has captured the fancy of basketball fans over the last couple of summers, and most especially Ohio State fans.
There’s a couple of Buckeye alumni teams in a trimmed down 24-team field. It includes a defending champion Carmen’s Crew, and another squad with more recent graduates known as Big X.
Both will be competing for a boatload of cash, and we now know what the bracket looks like thanks to a graphic The Basketball Tournament released on its Twitter Profile. You can click on the below and see all the first-round matchups.
The official game times will be released soon, but we at least know that No. 1 overall seed Carmen’s Crew will matchup with the winner of House of Paign and War Tampa somewhere between July 6 and 9. Big X will take on Jackson TN Underdawgs on either July 4 or 5.
