What is The Basketball Tournament?

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. 

What is the purse?

TBT’s purse is a winner-take-all $1 million prize.
