Despite a somewhat make-shift lineup, the team of (mostly) Ohio State alumni known as Team Scarlet & Gray advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2018 edition of The Basketball Tournament with a 72-60 victory over the North Carolina-based No. 12 Primetime Players in Atlanta on Friday night in the Super 16. Despite S&G consisting of some of the best players in recent Ohio State history, and the Players being an extremely successful semi-pro team, at times on Friday night (especially in the first half), the pace and efficiency of the game looked like little more than that of a midsummer, Sunday afternoon pickup game at the Y between guys trying to run off their dad-bods instead of mowing the lawn.
