FAYETTEVILLE — Eleven former Razorbacks, one former Blue Devil and one former Gator will come together to form Team Arkansas in Memphis on Friday night in a quest to win $2 million.
Team Arkansas, with former Razorback and current New York Knicks forward Bobby Portis serving as its head coach, is one of 64 teams competing in the sixth annual The Basketball Tournament.
A single-elimination format modeled after the NCAA Tournament, TBT features former collegiate players who are not playing in the NBA.
Third-seeded Team Arkansas, which won its opening game in the event last year, will face sixth-seeded Louisiana Elite on Friday at 6:40 p.
