____________________________________________________________________________________________________

● Overseas Elite– The four-time defending TBT champ has put together one of the most impressive streaks in sports, going 25-0 over the past four years, winning $7 million in the process.

● NCAA Tournament Flavor – A handful of teams that have made deep runs in the NCAA Tournament are shooting for $2 million. Kohl Blooded includes members from Wisconsin’s 2015 national runner-up team. Ram Nation, with alums from VCU’s 2011 Final Four team, is back for the fourth straight year. Green Machine features several members from George Mason’s 2006 Final Four team. Best Virginia has members from West Virginia’s 2010 Final Four team. Red Scare will rekindle memories of Dayton’s run to the Elite Eight in 2014. And the Hilltop Dawgs welcome several players who helped UMBC become the first No. 16 seed to beat a No. 1 by beating Virginia in 2018.

● NBA and NFL Ties – TBT’s growth has attracted the attention of professional athletes who want to be involved. Chris Paul, star guard for the Houston Rockets, and DeMarcus Cousins, star forward for the Golden State Warriors, are serving as General Managers for TBT teams. Coaches include Pistons center Andre Drummond, Pacers guard Darren Collison, Hornets guard Shelvin Mack and Wizards big man Bobby Portis. Suns guard Jimmer Fredette is an assistant coach. NFL stars Vic Beasley (Atlanta Falcons) and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (Washington Redskins) are sponsors of TBT teams.

● She’s the One – Megan Gustafson, college basketball’s 2019 National Player of the Year, will play for the Iowa United. While there have been other women to play in TBT, the former Iowa standout is the first active women’s professional player to play.

● Which Team Will Win Wichita? – The Wichita Regional is loaded. The top-seeded Golden Eagles (Marquette Alumni), led by Jamil Wilson and Travis Diener, lost to Overseas Elite in last year’s semifinals. The host AfterShocks (Wichita State Alumni), featuring Toure’ Murry, Tekele Cotton and Joe Ragland, will have a huge crowd on their side. Self Made (Kansas Alumni)has some of the best Jayhawks from the Bill Self era, including 2008 national champions Darrell Arthur and Darnell Jackson. Team Colorado (Colorado Alumni) was the runner up to Overseas Elite in 2016. And Purple & Black (Kansas State Alumni) boasts Akeem Wright, Curtis Kelly and Thomas Gipson...and more stars could be coming.

● The Elam Ending –TBT once again will use the Elam Ending. First implemented during TBT’s play-in round in 2017 and used throughout TBT 2018, the “Elam Ending” – created by Mensa member and basketball superfan Dr. Nick Elam– is designed to eliminate deliberate fouling at the end of games. It ensures the final minutes are played at the same pace and flow as the rest of the game and guarantees every game ends on a made basket. Under the rule, at the first dead ball after the four-minute mark in the fourth quarter, the game clock shuts off. A Target Score is set by adding eight (8) to the leading team’s score. The first team to reach the Target Score wins.

● Free Throws…

o Joey Gruden, son of Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden, is a former walk-on at Dayton and is one of the organizers of Red Scare.

o Doug Gottlieb, a radio personality and former hoops player at Oklahoma State, will be the coach of Team 23.

o Team Challenge ALS, started by former Boston College star Sean Marshall to honor his college roommate Pete Frates (who made the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge famous), returns. Of note, D.J. Strawberry, son of Darryl Strawberry, will be on the team. And a new team, Playing for Jimmy V, is named after former Rutgers guard and assistant coach Jim Valvano and partnering with the V Foundation. The team was formed by Rutgers student managers Alex Neumann and Matt Johnson and features several former Scarlet Knights.

o Isaiah Austin, a former Baylor center and NBA prospect whose career nearly ended because of Marfan Syndrome, will play for Loyalty is Love, which is led by DeMarcus Cousins.
