Boeheim's Army Gets 3-Seed in The Basketball Tournament

The Basketball Tournament (TBT) unveiled its bracket for the 2021 version of the single elimination tournament event. With that included seeding for Boeheim's Army, a team made up of mostly Syracuse alums. Boeheim's Army was given the three seed in the Peoria region and will face the 14th seeded Forces of Seoul. 

Boeheim's Army's roster currently stands at nine players, but it is expected to expand to 11 soon. The current roster includes Paschal Chukwu, Eric Devendorf, CJ Fair, Tyler Lydon, Chris McCullough, Tyrese Rice, Malachi Richardson, Keifer Sykes and Andrew White. 

Forces of Seoul is a team comprised of players who play in the Korean Basketball League. It features some familiar names to Syracuse fans, including Josh Newkirk, the former Pittsburgh guard, and Vernon Macklin, a former Georgetown big. 

Also included in the Peoria region is the defending TBT champion Golden Eagles, a team made up of Marquette alums. The Golden Eagles are the one seed in the region and would only face Boeheim's Army in the regional final. The two seed is House of 'Paign, a team of Illinois alums. That could potentially be Boeheim's Army's regional semifinal opponent, and they would have a home court advantage with games played in Peoria, Illinois. 

Should Boeheim's Army advance past Forces of Seoul, it will face the winner of the six seed The Overlooked and the 11-seed Heartfire. The Overlooked is a team made up of Murray State alums. Heartfire includes former Baylor and Pittsburgh players. 

Boeheim's Army's first game is the weekend of July 24th.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
