After a smaller 2020 event that featured a 24-team bracket and a bubble because of the coronavirus pandemic, The Basketball Tournament is officially back in 2021 with a full 64-team field competing for the $1 million winner-take-all prize.
While four-time title winner Overseas Elite won't be participating, Marquette's alumni team, the Golden Eagles, will look to defend their title vs. a field that includes 28 other alumni rosters -- including the 2019 champion, Carmen's Crew -- to usher in a new era of TBT.
The tournament will be spread across four separate regions for the early rounds and will conclude with the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals in Dayton, Ohio, starting on July 31.
