When Brandon Wood first heard about The Basketball Tournament, he knew it would be the perfect way to bring together different generations of Michigan State basketball players.
So, as the $2 million event enters its third year, Wood is putting together an impressive group of former Spartans to take part in the event — a 64-team tournament that begins with the Spartan Heroes playing at a regional July 16-17 in Chicago.
The Tournament has other regional sites in Los Angeles, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Philadelphia. The Super 16 will take place in Philadelphia July 21-23 and the semifinals and finals will be held July 30 and Aug.
