Syracuse Basketball: How to watch Boeheim’s Army in 2022 TBT opener

Boeheim’s Army, a talented collection of former Syracuse basketball players and other stars, begins the defense of its 2021 The Basketball Tournament (“TBT”) title this Friday night in Central New York.

We recently took a look at the Boeheim’s Army roster for the 2022 TBT, as the team will seek to replicate last summer’s glorious run by repeating as champions and hauling in another $1 million payday.

However, that stellar-looking Boeheim’s Army line-up has gotten even deeper in recent days, as it was revealed that the squad has added forward Jimmy Boeheim and guard Matt Morgan.

It’s only fitting that a Boeheim brother is on the roster, since the team is named for Jimmy and Buddy Boeheim’s father, long-time Orange head coach Jim Boeheim.

During the 2021-22 stanza, Jimmy Boeheim transferred to the Hill from Cornell and put forth a solid season, averaging nearly 14 points per contest. Morgan, meanwhile, also previously suited up for Cornell, and he proved a prolific scorer in his collegiate tenure with the Big Red.

Former Syracuse basketball stand-outs and others are ready to roll with Boeheim’s Army.

Okay, ‘Cuse hoops fanatics. Boeheim’s Army, a No. 1 seed, will begin its title defense on Friday, July 22, beginning at 7 pm in a round of 64 duel against No. 8 seed India Rising, which is a new group in the 2022 TBT.

ESPN will provide television coverage. Boeheim’s Army is the No. 1 seed in the Syracuse region, with games taking place at the SRC Arena. I have no doubt that we will witness a sea of Orange this Friday evening.

Should Boeheim’s Army reach the round of 32, it will then suit up on Saturday, July 23, at 2 pm. ESPN will again provide TV coverage.

If our beloved boys in Orange advance to the Sweet 16, Boeheim’s Army would next compete on Monday, July 25, at 7 pm. The winner of this match-up, to air on ESPN2, would advance to the Elite Eight.

Not to jinx it (and I probably just did), but if Boeheim’s Army makes a deep run to the 2022 TBT championship clash, it would compete for $1 million in Dayton, Ohio, on Tuesday, August 2. Tip-off is slated for 8 pm on ESPN.

Other members of the Boeheim’s Army roster, besides Boeheim and Morgan, include former Syracuse basketball stars such as shooting guard Andrew White III, wing C.J. Fair, point guard Tyler Ennis, big man Rakeem Christmas and big man Marek Dolezaj.

Non-Orange guys within the Boeheim’s Army line-up are veteran wings D.J. Kennedy and DeAndre Kane, point guard Dee Bost and big man Kyle Wiltjer.
