Carmen's Crew opens title defense of TBT with win over GoTime Green Machine
The win came in a different way than years past. Two non-Buckeyes led Carmen's Crew, with Scott Thomas leading the way with 20 points, including three shots from beyond the arc to pace the way. Thomas played for Bowling Green in college. The second-leading scorer was also a player without ties to Ohio State, guard Jamel Morris (from Fairmont State), who poured in 13 points.
The game was close in the first half, with the lead going back and forth. GoTime Green led 21-19 after the first quarter. Carmen's Crew found the mark from three-point range in the second quarter, hitting five triples to take a 42-36 lead at halftime. The Ohio State alums took control of the game in the third quarter, outscoring GoTime Green 24-17 in the period to take a 66-53 lead heading to the fourth quarter.
Camen's Crew couldn't quite put away GoTime Green in the fourth, allowing things to tighten up all the way to 66-61 and then 69-63 when the Elam Ending was activated. From there, Carmen's Crew made fairly quick work of things, winning on a Jamel Morris layup.
Only one former Buckeye played in the first game, and it was Keyshawn Woods, who contributed seven points and four rebounds. William Buford, Trevor Thompson, and Kaleb Wesson did not play. We'll see if that continues going forward, most likely not.
Carmen's Crew will be back in action on Monday at 6 p.m. ET against the winner of Locked In Elite and Fort Wayne Champs.
