TBT The Basketball Tournament on ESPN

Took Nick Ward, Bess and big X -6.5

Let's go!

Same. (Shocker)

Puddin in the game!! Love seeing him play again.

D2 can't miss from the perimeter.

I loved and hated seeing Ward again.. lol

Took Stillwater here

I tried to buy a team share of Big X. Apparently the deadline has passed.

Turned it back on just now and have to listen to Dakich. Eye roll. Love the ending with the plus 8 under 4 rule.

You can’t be forced to listen to that nitwit.

He was way less outspoken tonight, I am guessing because there's not a university he dislikes tied to a whole team. He was rather passive but still like a  (insert Dakich voice) "look, i know basketball, i am that guy, special kid, whole lotta heart, thats good defense, hehe here we go, oh, oh twitter, look, at the end of day, wow"

BJ and B Wood play at 7 for Team Heartfire. Have to think BJ is going to be a beast around the rim in this, teams seem pretty small inside.

Didn't know Happ was in this.

Unpopular opinion. The Elam ending is outstanding.

Devendorf is in this thing every year on the ‘Cuse team. Is he on Boeheim’s Army again this year?

I presume so. First round bye for the Cuse squad.

Doh. Frankenstein Haas is on Men of Mackey.

Dakich was quite prescient on BJ after Dawson looks smooth as hell on a couple of boards and a transition bucket. BJ bricks a 14 footer, doesn't even catch rim.

"That there is why he's not in the NBA. He can't shoot."

Well hi Gary McGhee.

Sounds like former Chip, Marcus Keene, is lighting it up.

For good measure. When the guy you’re guarding has the ball near half court, you know he is going to dribble you down and pull up for the game winner, and you still can’t do a thing about it...can’t be a good feeling.

Nice Dawson

Re: Keene, yeah I watched the end of that one. He's good. I like this tournament, it's fun.

Haas just tried a step back 3. Air ball.

One positive is it looks like 73 year old Bordeaux moved on from Purdue

Isaiah Austin is intriguing and an interesting story. Tough the way that went down

I like Elam ending too but comebacks and choke jobs are a lot more rare I would think

Why do you guys keep talking about Jason Elam?

Ok Gen Xer (I think the same thing)

Who is this guy and should he be our inspiration?

Possible lottery pick, medically told he couldn't play because he could die on the court

He might still be humbled by his very public suspension.


Just kidding. That jackass is incapable of humility.

Puddin is on again. They had Izzo on during the broadcast.

Big X goes down just like Heartfire. Got the lead, got fat and sassy late, and were launching shots. All MSU players gone from the tourney now it seems.

The 2nd half of semifinal #1 is starting on ESPN. Good game. It's Red Scare (Dayton Alum) vs Golden Eagles (Marquette alum). Some familiar names - Jamil Wilson, Travis Diener, Mo Acker, Trevor Thompson (OSU). Red Scare is the team Ward and Bess' team should have beaten.

2nd semifinal is (irrelevant) vs Overseas Elite and Joe Johnson's squad. I think it's the CMU kid's team actually but Iso Joe will probably run them out of the building.

Jamil Wilson with a huge 3. Elam ending time. First to 79 wins.

Keene is going off.

Get Joe the ball yo.

Keane and Creek have been really good every bit I've watched

Wow!! Sideline Cancer (Keene's team) makes a nutso 3 to hit 67 and eliminate Joe Johnson's team.

NBA needs to go to Elam during the regular season. This is fun.

Growing on me. Seems to eliminate the comeback though.

It would be interesting to have some sort of data on it but I doubt outside the TBT much exists. I'd be all for the NBA adopting
