TBT is an annual basketball tournament between teams that are mainly composed of former college stars, many of whom represent teams with alums from their same school. There are 64 teams split into eight regions competing in a single-elimination format for a winner-take-all prize.
The field includes alumni teams representing Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, Ohio State, Syracuse, UConn and more. Many of the top participants from the 2024 event are set to return this year, including the likes of Willie Cauley-Stein (Kentucky), Montrezl Harrell (Louisville), Russ Smith (Louisville) and Yogi Ferrell (Indiana).
For the eighth consecutive year, TBT will feature the Elam Ending, a format where the game clock is turned off at a predetermined time in the fourth quarter and a "target score" is set. The first team to reach that target score wins.
This year's event will also introduce TBT's "Home Court Advantage", which will allow host teams to play games in their home arena all the way through the championship game. "Home Court Advantage" was determined by a race to 4,000 tickets sold. Louisville fans won the race, and will now have the right to host the quarterfinals, semifinals and the championship game as long as the Louisville alumni team continues to win.

UFC 318: Paulo Costa vs. Roman Kopylov odds, picks and predictions
In a 3-round middleweight bout on the main card, Paulo Costa and Roman Kopylov meet Saturday at UFC 318 at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Early prelims start at 6 p.m. ET, prelims at 8 p.m. ET (both on ESPN / ESPN+ / Disney+), and the main card at 10 p.m. ET (pay-per-view). Their fight is expected to start around 11 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's UFC odds around the UFC 318: Costa vs. Kopylov odds, and make our expert UFC picks and predictions. Records: Costa (14-4-0) | Kopylov (14-3-0) It's been all downhill for Costa since suffering a title bout loss to Israel Adesanya at UFC 253 in Sept. 2020. He is 1-4 in his past 5 bouts, with 3 losses coming by decision -- including a split-decision setback to Sean Strickland at UFC 302 last time out. For Kopylov, he picked up a Round 3 KO/TKO at 4:59 against Chris Curtis in his most recent outing in January. He is 6-1 in his past 7 fights, with only a Round 2 submission loss at UFC 298 against Anthony Hernandez. If the Russian fighter has a weakness, it's on the mat, going 0-2 by way of submission in his career. The southpaw is 14-3-0 across all formats and 12-0 by way of KO/TKO. Kopylov holds a 3-inch reach advantage over the Brazilian fighter, although Costa has a 6.22-to-4.96 significant strikes landed per minute advantage. He is also more accurate on those strikes, landing them at 59.78%, while Kopylov lands at just 53.0%. Kopylov holds a 1.17-to-0.36 takedown average, although Costa is much more accurate at 75.0% on those takedowns. Neither fighter has made a mark in submission average.

It's hard to trust Costa, as he enters with 4 losses in the past 5 fights. It's like he lost his mojo in that title fight against the Stylebender, and he hasn't been able to get it back. Kopylov (-235) is too expensive to play on the 2-way line, though, as he will cost you well in excess of 2 times your potential return. Even with a boost or promo, that's too much for a singular wager, although including him in a multi-leg parlay is worth a look. You'll have to get more specific, so look to the method of victory. Since neither fighter is good via submission, avoid that avenue. Take KOPYLOV BY KO/TKO (+275) on the 7-way method of victory line for the chance to nearly triple up. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now! NO (+135): FIGHT TO GO THE DISTANCE? is a strong play at plus-money, since we like Kopylov to get the job done by KO/TKO. It requires a bit of a leap of faith, as Costa has gone the distance in 4 straight bouts -- and lost 3 of them. Kopylov, on the other hand, has 6 finishes in his last 7 fights, including 5 wins by KO/TKO and a split-decision victory over Cesar Almeida at UFC 302.
