Since it is a single-elimination tournament, this is all she wrote for the Deacs alumni team. It was the first ever win for Showtime in The Basketball Tournament in their five year history.
While Wake The Nation was the five seed, there is very little doubt that Showtime was the better team, and they used their knowledge gathered from the past four TBT’s to put together a team that the Deacs simply could not keep up with.
