Did everyone enjoy the first day of action in the 2022 version of The Basketball Tournament? There was more than a few nailbiters along the way.
Over in Rucker Park in New York City, top seeded YGC escaped ever so slightly, 79-74, over Hoopville Warriors. Xavier Rathan-Mayes is your top performer there, getting 26 points (although it took 7-for-17 shooting to get there) along with seven rebounds and five assists.
#2 seed Americana For Autism got pushed by Peacock Nation, the Saint Peter’s alumni team, but 16 points off the bench from Nigel Johnson and three free throws at the end from Trey Davis led them to the 69-68 victory.
