Saturday is finally the day that Team uKnighted, a Rutgers heavy alumni team, begin their quest to make The Basketball Tournament, the popular summer event entering it’s third year of play. We have covered their journey every step of the way. The formation of Team uKnighted was announced in early April. It was then announced back in mid-May that they would be one of four entrants to play in the inaugural Jamboree play-in mini-tournament in Philadelphia this weekend. There are four regions hosting these four team single elimination events this weekend, with the winner of each region advancing to play in The Basketball Tournament
Team uKnighted is playing to earn a spot in the Northeast Region bracket, which would also take place in Philadelphia the weekend of July 8th and 9th.
