Card Nation! I am excited to announce that Louisville will have a TBT team. However, we need to fundraise in order to fly the team to Louisville prior to the tournament for practice, travel, meals, and hospitality. Any support is greatly appreciated!

As you saw here on Cardinal Sports Zone, the Louisville Cardinals will have a TBT team this summer. For those not familiar with the TBT, just Google it. I’m kidding. The TBT (The Basketball Tournament) is a single elimination tournament that has a grand prize of 1 million dollars waiting for the winning team! The tournament finals will be held July 31st-August 3rd at the University of Dayton Arena. Anyone can apply. Details are here! Some teams are Alumni teams and that’s what the Louisville squad is. We do not have an official roster yet, but we do know who the first announced players are…. Drumroll please
Samardo Samuels
Samardo is a big time name announced for this team. The big man has been balling and will be an anchor for this Louisville squad.
Ryan McMahon
RyMac is one of the all-time fan favorites in Louisville Basketball history. He played for a different team last year so we will definitely get paired against them in the opening round. Stay tuned to CSZ for more details when they become available! We will update this story daily when new members are announced!
Chane Behanan
Excited to announce the addition of Chane Behanan to the 2021 Louisville TBT team! #L1C4 #NationalChamp
