Overseas Elite, a team comprised primarily of former college stars playing professionally in other countries, will try to repeat as champion and earn $2 million on Tuesday night in the final of The Basketball Tournament.
Former Arizona guard Kyle Fogg, who recently signed a deal to play in Spain this upcoming season, scored 42 points on Saturday night against City of Gods to lead Overseas Elite into the championship game.
A year ago, Overseas Elite earned the $1 million winner-take-all prize. Now they are one win away from sharing the $2 million prize money.
“I knew we had a chance to get back, but yes -- I’m a little surprised,” Fogg said.
