Syracuse, N.Y. -- Boeheim's Army advanced to the semifinals of last year's The Basketball Tournament's $2 million winner-take-all sweepstakes.
The team was two wins away from ending the Overseas Elite stranglehold on prize money. That distinction meant the Syracuse-based team was as tantalizingly close as it had ever been to pocketing TBT treasure.
Boeheim's Army plays July 21 in Brooklyn vs the winner of an earlier game that pits the Philadelphia Stars and the South Jamaica Kings.
Ryan Blackwell, the Liverpool High School coach who guided his boys' team to a New York state championship last winter, returns for his third year as the coach of Boeheim's Army.
