Ohio State basketball alumni team, 'Carmen's Crew' announces return to TBT
If you love yourself some amateur summer basketball, most notably the now annual spectacle that is "The Basketball Tournament (TBT)," you're in luck because it is back again for another run at the $1 Million, winner-take-all cash prize. And, that being the case, you know all Ohio State basketball fans are ready for another go at a championship for the OSU alumni team known affectionately as "Carmen's Crew."
All Carmen's Crew did was win the whole thing last year, making it twice now that the mostly former Ohio State players have taken home the championship, joining their win from the 2019 season. But will the team return to try and defend its title, or will it rest easy knowing it took home some significant money for the members of the team?
According to an announcement on social media Wednesday, we can tell you to rest easy, Buckeye fans, because "Carmen's Crew" will indeed be back for another shot at winning a boatload of money.
It appears as though the team is still finalizing the complete roster, but it did announce that William Buford, Kaleb Wesson, Keyshawn Woods, Trevor Thompson, and Jeff Gibbs will be back to run it back once again, and that the team will start play in the Indianapolis Region.
We'll stay on top of any further roster announcements, but we can tell you that the tournament will take place from July 18 through August 3. As the schedule for "Carmen's Crew" is made available, we'll have coverage of it all. The former Buckeyes will be in a region with hosts "Assembly Ball (Indiana Alumni team)" and "All Good Dawgs (Butler Alumni team)," as well as "GoTime Green Machine," "Locked In Elite," "Fail Harder," "Shield 219 (Valparaiso Alumni)," and "Fort Wayne Champs."
The Indianapolis Region will be played from July 19 through the 22 at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
