The Basketball Tournament (TBT) is heating up with only eight teams left vying for the coveted title of champion. The quarterfinals are set to take place on Monday, July 29, and Tuesday, July 30, with the semifinals following on Friday, August 2. The highly anticipated finals to determine the ultimate winner will be held on Sunday, August 4. With a winner-take-all format where the victorious team walks away with a cool one million dollars, the stakes have never been higher.
Let’s delve into the most notable players on each of the remaining eight TBT teams that are battling it out for glory on the court.
Up first, we have the Happy Valley Hoopers, led by Izaiah Brockington. Brockington has already etched his name in NBA history by making an appearance with the New Orleans Pelicans, where he showcased his talents with four points and two rebounds in just one game. The former First Team All-Big 12 player from Iowa State is determined to make a lasting impression in the TBT tournament.
Turning our attention to Eberlein Drive, the player to watch is none other than Archie Goodwin. With a wealth of experience in the NBA, Jared Sullinger is a force to be reckoned with on the court. The seasoned forward, who was drafted by the Boston Celtics in 2012, has consistently put up impressive numbers throughout his career, including a standout performance of 31 points and 16 rebounds in a single game.
Meanwhile, A.J. English brings a dynamic presence to Eberlein Drive, drawing on his family’s basketball legacy. Although he may not have graced the NBA courts like his father, who played for the Washington Bullets, English has made a name for himself with his exceptional skills. As a three-time First Team All-MAAC player at Iona, he is a key contributor to Eberlein Drive’s success in the TBT tournament.
As the competition intensifies and the remaining teams gear up for battle, one thing is certain – the journey to TBT glory is filled with talent, passion, and fierce determination. Stay tuned to see which player will rise above the rest and lead their team to victory in this thrilling tournament.
