The Basketball Tournament is one of the more intriguing tournaments in sports. The open-application, single-elimination tournament is broadcast by ESPN and features a US$1,000,000 prize to the winners.
Many teams have players on their roster that have played professionally or at the college level. WNBA players have made their way onto rosters as well.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: June 27th, 8:00 P.M. (EST)
Online bookmaker William Hill has Overseas Elite at +160 to win the tournament.
While any team or group can apply, teams with the most success include bodies from a former college that have played together. Ranging from Arkansas to Syracuse, TBT has seen players across the nation from many schools. Overseas Elite owns the best odds to win the 2020 tournament. Overseas Elite has won 4 TBT championships and are one of the most feared teams in the tournament. Overseas Elite features former NBA players like Joe Johnson and Jarrett Jack.Carmen’s Crew are the defending tournament winners and own the second-best odds to win in 2020. Featuring players from Ohio State, Carmen’s Crew dethroned Overseas Elite in 2019.
As mentioned, some of the best teams are comprised of players from a certain Alma Mater. The Golden Eagles are Marquette alumni coming together to hopefully win their first tournament in 2020. The Golden Eagles fell short in 2019 but are highly regarded entering this tournament. If Overseas Elite or Carmen’s Crew fall at any point in the tournament, the Golden Eagles will certainly be the favorite. Right now, Overseas Elite and Camen’s Crew have the edge on Golden Eagles.
As this is a single-elimination tournament, anything can happen. One minor slip up can alter an entire tournament, which makes this entertaining and dramatic.
Will TBT see a new tournament winner in 2020?
