The first team to move on to the semi-finals (aka last four) of the TBT 2020 was last year’s runners up, Golden Eagles (Marquette Alumni), who knocked off a worthy challenger in Team Brotherly Love, 83-76.
The trio of Dwight Buycks (Marquette), Darius Johnson-Odom (Marquette) and Jamil Wilson (Marquette) accounted for 52 of the Golden Eagles’ 83 points, while helping the former Marquette stars to outscore Team Brotherly Love by a healthy 35-21 margin in bench points.
Swingmen Elgin Cook (Oregon) had a strong all-around game, chipping in 8 points and 8 rebounds, while Jarvis Williams (Minnesota State-Mankato) added 8 points as well.
