The Basketball Tournament to go on as scheduled, but with format and location change

The Basketball Tournament will still be played during its original timeline at the end of July, but the location and format will change.

The winner-take-all tournament known as The Basketball Tournament will still be played in its late July timeframe, but the location and format will change according to a release from tournament organizers Wednesday.

That means defending champion Carmen’s Crew, the mainly Ohio State alumni team with former players like Aaron Craft, David Lighty, and William Buford, won’t likely kick things off on OSU’s campus at the Covelli Center any longer.

That’s because the format is changing to a quarantined, one location setting as opposed to pods as originally planned according to the statement.

A venue has yet to be announced. As it is, we’ll be sure to have the news for you. At this point though, the tournament is still on.
