Since there is too much negatively I'll take the time to say it.  I love TBT as a quick summer basketball fix.  I love watching Boeheim's Army.  They are the home town team for this event.  I'd watch and cheer just as much if there were zero SU players on the team.  Theses guys represent Syracuse now, and they are doing it very well. On the court especially, but in interviews too. These guys LOVE our fans and love playing in Syracuse.

Sorry to the people still pining for this to be an SU old timers game, but you should have figured out by now that its logistically impossible long term. Depending on the number of healthy non NBA guys Syracuse has out there it can be a mostly SU team some years, but it can't just be an old timers game every year forever. It's too hard to get great basketball players to commit consistently to something where they are not likely to be paid at the end.

There are some really good players in this event. The best one (maybe even the best 2) play for us.  The only way we don't win the whole thing is injuries (which is a very real concern). A few years ago there was nothing in the summer, now we have some basketball, I say enjoy it.  It can literally end at any time. Its not much of a commitment. We get to say go SU in November. Until then all we've got is Go Boeheim's Army.
