If all goes according to plan, we’re going to have live basketball here in less than two weeks. The Basketball Tournament tips off July 4 in Columbus, and while there won’t be any fans in attendance, there will be an absolute goody basket of stars competing. All games will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN2, so the first live basketball in North America in four months will be easily accessible for anyone wanting to indulge.
Carmen’s Crew, the Ohio State alumni team, is the reigning champion, but they are by no means the heavy favorite as the tournament gets closer and closer.
