    For any you Skyboxers who enjoy basketball, you might want to mark this on your sports calendar starting July 4th. The games will feature college and pro players who will participate in a 24 team tournament with a prize of One Million to the winning team. Carmen's Crew won the tournament last year.

    The games will be held here in Columbus at Nationwide Arena.

    TBT to be played in Columbus, air live on ESPN

    I'd never heard of the TBT, but it sounds interesting.

    Probably more interesting to local fans due to all of the alumni members from Ohio State playing in several teams.

    I've been watching golf. It seems a little weird with no gallery but at least I'm not wondering which house they will buy or if the cheetah will get the springbok?

    Four games played yesterday and four of 24 eliminated. Some pretty decent basketball by many talented players. Mostly high offense and scoring as one might imagine. C.J. Jackson, a former guard for the Buckeyes scored with seconds remaining to notch a win for the Big X team and remain in contention for the big million dollar prize. Anyone else watching?

    I never really got into TBT. I've seen some highlights on TV but that's about all. Actually I'm not really sure I'll watch the restart of the NBA season should it come about.
