Tuesday night was the title game and Carmen’s Crew downed the Golden Eagles 66-60. It’s the first time in four seasons that Overseas Elite did not claim the TBT title. It was a single-elimination tournament, so Carmen’s Crew did not experience any defeat.
Former Buckeyes that made up Carmen’s Crew were Scoonie Penn, William Buford, Aaron Craft, Jon Diebler, Dallas Lauderdale, David Lighty, Evan Ravenel, LaQuinton Ross, Jared Sullinger, Deshaun Thomas, Evan Turner.
Buford was named the MVP of the tournament.
The $2 million cash prize will be split up amongst the team.
