The Basketball Tournament
editBeginning in 2015, Barnette has participated in The Basketball Tournament for team Primetime Players. The team won its first round match-up against Blue Zoo, a team of Middle Tennessee alumni in 2017, but lost in the second round to Ram Nation, a team of VCU alumni. In 2015 Barnette led the way as the PrimeTime Players cruised to a 94–66 upset over top-seeded TeamBDB in a game that ended early due to multiple ejections. Barnette led the team to the Super 17 Finals in Chicago before losing to Dirty South in the closing seconds. The Basketball Tournament is an annual $2 million winner-take-all tournament broadcast on ESPN.[4]
