The TBT Championship Weekend in Philadelphia is heating up with only four teams left vying for the $1 million prize. The matchups are set for the semifinals, and there are plenty of exciting storylines to follow.
One of the most anticipated matchups is between Carmen’s Crew, led by star Jared Sullinger, and La Familia, led by Willie Cauley-Stein. Both players were former first-round NBA Draft picks and consensus first-team All-Americans during their college careers. Cauley-Stein, known for his defensive prowess, has added a new dimension to his game by showcasing his ability to hit three-pointers, something he did not do in college or the NBA.
On the other side, Sullinger is back playing in TBT after coaching the Ohio State alumni team to a championship in 2019. With a well-balanced attack and dynamic guard play, Carmen’s Crew is looking to make another run at the title.
In the other semifinal matchup, Forever Coogs, led by Houston great Rob Gray, will take on Eberlein Drive, a team with a deep history in TBT. Gray has been a standout player in the tournament, leading his team in scoring and helping them reach the semifinals. Eberlein Drive, a team with a feel-good story, has overcome challenges in the past to make it to this point.
Overall, the stage is set for an exciting weekend of basketball in Philadelphia. With star players like Cauley-Stein, Sullinger, and Gray leading their teams, fans can expect high-level competition and thrilling games. The championship game on Sunday will determine who takes home the $1 million prize, and all four teams will be giving it their all to come out on top. Stay tuned for what promises to be an action-packed weekend of basketball in TBT.
