Columbus Regional Headlines:
The Money Team Stuns Carmens Crew with Late Surge To Get To Dayton
By Deon Cash
Floyd Mayweather vowed to bring his Money Team back stronger than ever after last years early exit from the TBT.
And boy did he do that, as The Money Team railed off a big run to pull off a improbable comeback in front of a partisan crowd in Columbus, Ohio to defeat Carmen's Crew 91-89 earlier this week.
Carmen's Crew had a 78-61 lead at one point, and a 83-75 lead when the signature Elam Ending (91) was announced.
However TMT tighened its defense and rode the hot hands of its 2 stars all the way to a 89-89 tie.
After the game, Mayweather called the squad to congratulate them on a big win.
Will Mayweather be at the games this weekend?
That remains to be seen.
But if I had to guess? I'd say the best boxer in history along with his Money Team will be in the UD Arena on Saturday as his boys will take on the Blue Collar Squad (Buffalo).
Especially with a million on the line, the nostalgia of the Arena, and the energy of the TBT itself?
No way he will miss this.
The Money Team plays at 9pmET, 6pm PT) on Saturday Night, which is primetime for Mayweather, who lives on Pacific Coast time anyways.
Columbus Regional Recap
Red Scare Cruise in 1st Round, Fall to Category 5
The Dayton Flyers Affiliate team, the Red Scare, came out firing on all cylinders in round 1, blasting their opponent 88-44. But in the 2nd round the Flyers got down early to Category 5 (Miami, Florida affiliate) and couldn't survive, falling in the second round. "We're dissapointed for the fans," Former Flyer hooper Devin Oliver stated.
Men of Mackey Fall to Carmens Crew
The Men of Mackey (Purdue affiliate) had a nice 1st game, as Robbie Hummel did work along with others. The Men of Mackey would fall to Jeff Gibbs and Carmen's Crew as David Lighty, Gibbs, and William Buford had good games to lead the victory.
Energy of TBT will Help Ohio Market
The whole vibe of the TBT is perfect, as its able to squeeze in some good hoops right when there is nothing much going on in the sports world (aside from the Olympics) which has been a work in itself. The TBT hit on something that was perfect. Bringing the old studs back to their stomping grounds and playing for a great cause or two. The play is competitive, and the Elam Ending always makes it dramatic during those final moments of the game.
