The Basketball Tournament may be working to change the format of its winner-take-all event, but the show will still go on according to a release Wednesday.
The annual event has become a bit of a trip down memory lane for Ohio State fans. Carmen’s Crew, made up of mostly former players from the Thad Matta era, won the whole thing last year and is back to defend its title. On top of that, another TBT team that was started last year, Big X, has four former recent Ohio State players with C.J. Jackson, Andre Wesson, Andrew Dakich, and Keyshawn Woods.
And now it has five.
Kaleb Wesson, Ohio State’s big man for the past three seasons is joining the team according to an announcement on the team’s Twitter profile.
For Wesson, it’s a chance to continue to keep his game sharp and show off to NBA scouts that may be watching one of the only evaluation tools they have during the coronavirus pandemic. He made himself eligible for the 2020 NBA Draft and is a borderline second-round pick.
For Big X, it’s another name-brand player that will hopefully sway tournament organizers to select it as one of the trimmed down 24 teams the tournament will now have.
Stay tuned …
