Overseas Elite has a storied history in the TBT. They’ve won four straight championships and are considered TBT royalty. They took their all-time perfect record into the 2019 finals, but lost to Carmen’s Crew. However, they’re back, and they have made some significant additions to their roster. This is not a team for the faint of heart.
The Overseas Elite’s success in the tournament is unmatched. In four of six tournaments, they’ve won the tournament. They’ve also advanced to the semifinals of the 2020 tournament. Their most recent victory was a 93-76 victory over Herd That, a team composed of former Marshall University players. Besides Johnson, another former Jazz forward, Frank Session, has added 19 points to the game.

The Overseas Elite is a dominant team that has the feel of a Cinderella team. Its championship game was also the team’s last TBT game. The tournament’s success is largely due to their elite players. So, what should the Overseas Elite do now? If they’re still not ready to be the TBT champion, they may want to consider joining one of the elite teams in the NBA.

Armored Athlete
The Armored Athlete is one of the longest-standing teams in TBT history. In its eighth season, the team features some of the best players from the NBA and overseas. The team features former NBA players, including Xavier Rathan-Mays and Jemerrily Jones. However, they did not advance past the first round, which was won by the Overseas Elite.
Last year, Dunne served as the head coach for the Armored Athlete in the TBT tournament. The team was in their seventh straight appearance, and last summer they beat the Overseas Elite 88-52. The game featured five players scoring at least 11 points, led by Cote Clark and Tariq Owens, who both played for Gettysburg University.
The first quarter was a tough one for the Armored Athlete, with only two points on the board in the first three minutes. But the Bucketneers fought back, as John Gillon and Hakim Warrick answered the Armored Athlete’s scoring barrage. The Bucketneers, an East Tennessee State alumni team, beat War Ready, an Auburn alumni team, on Sunday.
In the second quarter, the Armored Athlete took control of the game and dominated the rest of the first quarter. Bradford had a monster game, scoring 30 points on 9-of-14 shots, including six three-pointers and a perfect free throw. His defense also dominated the game, forcing the Armored Athlete to miss nine of its next five shots.
The Armored Athlete pulled within seven points in the third quarter, but they never looked like getting back into the game. The Bucketneers closed the second quarter with an 18-0 run and led by double digits by halftime. Courtney Pigram added another three-pointer to seal the victory for the Bucketneers. This was the end of the Armored Athlete’s run in the second round of 2021.
Murray State alumni team
The Murray State men’s basketball alumni team is competing in The Basketball Tournament (TBT) in July. Former Racers will stop by Murray this week to practice and meet the Racer Nation. The team will hold two open workout days at the CFSB Center. Fans can stop by and see the players in action, or just say hello to the alumni. The overlooked roster includes five former Racers, including Hall of Famer Isaiah Canaan.
Other players will be playing on the Bleed Green alumni team. Former players including Tony Mitchell and Javion Hamlet will be playing. Another team, the Herd That, will consist of former Marshall players. Last year, the team made it as high as the No. 3 seed, but ultimately fell in the second round. The team will include some former Marshall players like JaCorey Williams and Jon Elmore. The Bleed Green team is expected to be at least 60% former UNT players.
Boeheim’s Army, the alumni team from Syracuse, won the tournament’s first game against Forces of Seoul. In the second round, the team defeated the Men of Mackey, a Purdue alumni team. In the regional finals, Boeheim’s Army will face The Money Team, a team of Michigan State alumni. While the alumni teams may have their rivals, it’s not easy to predict the winner.
In 1988, Murray State reached the NCAA tournament, where it topped the No. 1 seed Michigan State 75-71. This was the closest any 16 seed team had come to knocking off a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Another notable victory came in 1989, when the Racers upset No. 2 seed, Princeton. That team went on to beat the Blue Devils in overtime. In 1997, the Racers nearly upset No. 2 seed, Duke.
Popeye Jones, one of the greatest players in Murray State’s history, was the first player to score over two thousand points. His performance led the team to an OVC championship in 1991 and 1992. Although he did not make the NBA, he made his mark in the NCAA tournament. In the same year, his name was included on the TBT basketball alumni team. However, he did not make the US Basketball Team.
