No TBT Team for Hampton Roads?
Doesnt look like Boo made it in.
Anyone have the scoop from our ex players or Boo?
Looks like Bleed Virginia is loaded with VCU treads...

The basketball tournament.
https://thebasketballtournament.com/
ODU alums had a team for a couple years with Kovensky coaching them and Nik Biberaj organizing it. Kovensky stopped when he was promoted to an assistant coach. Then it morphed into a Hampton Roads (757 Royalty) team. Not sure what happened to that group.

Boo has a team that Frank is on but I am not sure they made it into the bracket (111 applied for 64 spots):
From the Pilot: https://www.pilotonline.com/sports/vp-sp...story.html
"As you might expect, the Boo Williams Alumni team includes the most Hampton Roads connections, such as Hampton University’s all-time leading scorer, Jermaine Marrow. The roster also includes: Brandon Tabb (Kecoughtan, Bethune-Cookman), Chris Clarke (Cape Henry, Virginia Tech, Texas Tech), Damon Thornton (Atlantic Shores, N.C. State), Dashawn Barton (Bethel, Virginia Union), Frank Hassell (Indian River, Old Dominion), Jaleel Nelson (Lakeland, Chowan), Julian Norfleet (Landstown, Mount St. Mary’s) and Malique Trent (Norcom, TCU, HU)."

I looked it up. It would be cool if ODU had a team. But other than that, it looks like a bunch of guys that didn't make it at the next level hanging on to try to live the dream. Has anyone graduated from the TBT to the NBA?

My impression is that it's a fun tournament for bragging rights. I don't think anyone sees this as a stepping stone.

Precisely. I don't think anyone expects to parlay a TBT appearance into anything other than another TBT appearance.
Big3 is still a thing, right?
