Looks like the ‘Cats will have a team for this year’s TBT, spearheaded by Preston and BVP. Miles Brown, Dwight Wilson, and Jaylin Hunter are in as well: https://www.athensmessenger.com/sports/ohiouniversity/kin...

Nice! Awesome to see Preston and BVP really lead this thing.

Still would like to see DJ come back and play. Would be an insane backcourt.

Too soon for Reef to join? Have to think he might be interested in playing with Jaylin again for fun.

Would love to see Jason Carter and Tony Campbell part of this as well.

BVP, Carter, Campbell as forwards
Preston, Cooper as point guards

The amount of raw talent on that team would be insane!

I was kind of hoping for Kenny Belton, Andy Kanzig and Marin Bota as forward with Bean Willis and Rio Adams as guards.
Bench: Wadly Mompremier, Khari Harley, Nick Terry, Zach Butler and Chet Feldman.

Was told a year ago that Jerry Jackson still had game! Probably at his advanced age he could still school Mr. Bota, NBA talent and all. ;-)

P.S. Jerry was actually a 7th round NBA draft pick.

Get Saul, Dale Bandy, and Billy Hahn back in there to coach them and I am sold!

Some more insight into the process as it looks like Mike Cifliku will be taking on a GM role. Seems like he's taking a pretty professional approach to the whole thing: https://www.athensmessenger.com/sports/ohiouniversity/cif...

Have we heard anything on the coach? Are they waiting on Simmons or Stevie? Fuss?

Let them play. Green Bay and Gottlieb were embarrassed during a 4-win season in 2024-25. Let them be embarrassed again with a first-round elimination.

Wasn't he the coach or maybe an assistant last time? My memory is probably incorrect.

I see CSK are the fourth seed of eight in the WV region. Will play a fifth seeded team comprised of players from Gwinnett County Georgia.

The only thing I’ve seen is a general reference that all games will be on Fox Sports. The schedule does show CSK’s first game as being at 4:00 PM on July 18.

Met up with some of the players and GM earlier today at the Bobcat Bar in Grandview. Friday's game is at 4 and is on youtube. Javon Graves, perhaps the best of many good UB players during their multi-year run a few years back, is on the roster. GM told me he tried to get AJ Clayton, but his agent steered him away from playing.

Each team pays a $15,000 entry fee and gets an increasing amount of that fee returned with each win. The tourney champ gets $1,000,000.

Hope it's streaming on YouTube and not just YouTube TV. If so, may be able to catch some of it.

Looks like the roster has been filled out: https://tbthoops.com/teams/court-street-kings /. Half OU guys and half others. In addition to Jayvon, we picked up Jack Gohlke, the sharpshooter from Oakland who led them to an upset over Kentucky in the 2024 tourney.

Surprised we weren't able to fill out our roster with more of our own. Although Gohlke is a fun addition.

Yeah, what's that connection? BVP?

Also, still no coach listed on the roster. Unless Cifliku is pulling GM/Coach duties?
