Bill Orange Where was that spot we swung into right before hitting OCC?

Was it called Kelley’s?

Was it called Kelley’s?

Possibly. They had a little buffet with pizza and things on it. That’s about all I remember lol

Pretty awesome to host a regional at Rucker. Actually would have loved to have Boeheim's Army there -- the games in Brooklyn a few years ago were a lot of fun.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Great idea, if it doesn't rain.

Can’t be any worse than an aircraft carrier.

Seeing Rucker has always been on a sports bucket list of mine. Really hope Boeheim's Army plays there.

I tried! I was practically tackled by OCC security for standing next to my vehicle and not immediately headed into the arena. I mentioned I was waiting for friends, and this woman started yelling about arresting me.

I'm not even exaggerating, it was insane.

Are tickets to this hard to come by? Where/when do I snag some?

Back in the late 60's I used to go there to watch summer touraments. Teams could be a mix of locals, college and a smattering of pros. Just bleacher seating and pretty limited back then.We were the only white faces. Court was concrete. Can,t remember if there were nets or chains on the hoops, probably chains.

Who is our first commitment to Boeheim's Army this year? Think we are in range at this point...

Wonder if Devo will be back as a player... he wasn't as effective last year.

Devo retired after last year.

It's time for Boeheim's Army: The Next Generation

I traded e-mails with a spokesman for the TBT a few weeks ago, he said roster news for BA would be coming toward the end of May!

Thought that Battle committed to playing this year.

Thought that Battle committed to playing this year.

He did say that in an interview on Devo’s podcast.

OTE enters NBA draft-eligible team in TBT

An Overtime Elite team will compete in July's The Basketball Tournament, which will mark the first time NBA draft-eligible prospects will be able to participate in the tournament which offers a one-million dollar prize.

Personally this is a bad thing to me. It's free exposure for a team already part of a league. Could set a bad precedent in a hurry. This being a tourney of teams put together for just one purpose makes it special.

Eh, feels like an interesting angle to me. Do the kids get schooled by experienced players or does it go differently? Will be fun to see, imo. Honestly, if the pendulum swings away from spot-up Travis Diener types, I’m ok with it. And if he whoops them, so be it.

Overtime Elite vs Overseas Elite?

Yeah I actually have zero issue with the talent and younger guys more just being something the OT Elite league that is sparse on teams and competition just gets to plug into something like this. Makes it interesting for sure just curious on the precedent it sets.
