The semifinals of The Basketball Tournament are tonight (Tues. 8/1), from the campus arena of Coppin State University in Baltimore. They are televised on ESPN.
In the first semifinal game, #2 seeded Scarlet & Gray (Ohio State alumni) played a close game that went to overtime with #6 seeded Team Challenge ALS.
In the overtime (overtime periods in TBT are 4 minutes long), Team Challenge ALS took a 4-point lead inside the final minute and appeared on the way to upsetting Scarlet & Gray. But then with 31 seconds left, Scarlet & Gray tied the game with a 4-point play (William Buford was fouled on a 3-pointer). Team Challenge ALS had a final shot to win, but couldn't score. So the game went to a 2nd overtime period.
In the second OT, Team Challenge ALS again took a quick lead and maintained the lead throughout the OT. They made some terrific shots and won:
Final score in 2 OT- 88-83
Team Challenge ALS will play for the $2 million prize on Thursday night.

The second semifinal game will start shortly between #1 seed Overseas Elite, who has won the tournament the last 2 years, and #3 seed Boeheim's Army.
