CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The opening round of The Basketball Tournament (TBT) presents a unique set of challenges.
With little to no film of an opponent and a large element of unfamiliarity, teams are likely to focus on themselves as they try to advance in the quest to ultimately win the $1 million prize rewarded to the tournament champion.
“It’s different from college or professional where you have film on these guys,” said Best Virginia guard Chase Harler. “Almost everyone plays on different teams now and they’re coming back and playing on one team. It’s about showing up, being professionals, doing your job and playing hard.”
