The Basketball Tournament

[olbriar]

I've been watching the TBT games. All three major Kansas alumni teams were playing. KU sent KSU home Monday. The local university, Wichita State is waiting to play the winner of the KU (JHX Hoops) and the HeartFire team. The HeartFire team won the tourney back in 2023. It is a winner take all with a purse of $1,000,000. Players consist of past college players and simi pro players.

No... it's national. It is fun to watch some of the players that either didn't make it after college or playing over seas. It's a step down in talent than the college level ball. My daughter bought me tickets a few years back for the first three games hosted at my local U. I believe that the tourney starts with 64 teams that are spread out in multiple regions. The entertainment for me is to watch past players from college teams I follow. Once those teams are eliminated, count me out.
