Tubby Time has withdrawn from the TBT, so does this mean Always a Brave has a bye, or are there back up teams.

Tubby Time has withdrawn from the TBT, so does this mean Always a Brave has a bye, or are there back up teams.

Last year, the tournament people had alternate teams ready to go if needed because of the Covid issues. So maybe they will put a substitute team into the bracket to play Bradley?

 

[Da Coach]

Tubby Time had to drop out because 8 of their players recently signed pro contracts that prevented them from competing in this event.
It left them with not enough players to compete in The Basketball Tournament.

Tubby Time will be replaced by a team named Chicago Hoopville Warriors. I don't recognize many of their players-

The game will still be on Saturday, July 24, at 6:00 pm

 

[Da Coach]

Here is the revised schedule for the Illinois Regional games July 24-28. Always a Brave will still play their opening round game on Saturday, July 24, at 6:00 pm, but the opponent will be Hoopville Warriors, since Tubby Time has withdrawn.
Some of the network assignments have also changed.
The Always a Brave-Hoopville Warriors game is on ESPN3.

[The Old Guy]

Can we buy tickets at the Colosseum box office or at Carver arena or is online the only way we can purchase them? When you buy online a significant service fee is tacked on.

 

[Da Coach]

I don't think tickets can be bought at the Bradley Coliseum. But they should be available at the Carver Arena box office. Can anyone confirm this?
