TBT = The Basketball Tounament, an ESPN creation featuring teams that are a hodge podge of former college players. There were KSU, WSU, and KU alumni teams in the Wichita bracket, all disposed of by Team Colorado.
I attended the final Wichita game between Mass Street (KU team) and Colorado. The Colorado team was just tougher overall, much more dialed into their defense. The first quarter, Mass St had trouble even getting a shot off before it was behind 8-0. From there to half, Mass St would fight to within 2 or 3 and Colo would re-extend their lead. In the 3rd quarter, Mass St buckled down and eventually gained the lead and with 4 minutes to play were ahead by 9 points. That's where the Elam Ending is implemented, adding 8 points to the leading score creating a target score (84). First team to 84 wins the game. Mass St started jacking up errant 3s and Colo won the game. The Colo team had a point guard named Adams who was nails. Their bigs were stouter and gave better defensive effort than KUs.
