The Basketball Tournament 2019: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Rosters for July 19-21

Have a need to see more basketball action? No sweat, the good people at The Basketball Tournament will scratch that itch.

The NBA Summer League is a wrap, but thanks to TBT, summer basketball is alive and well.

The event, which will be televised live on ESPN networks, will consist of 64 teams competing in a single-elimination tournament to be held at eight regional sites.

The rosters are set to feature 60 former NBA players, 23 college alumni teams, players with international experience and 20 NCAA Division I players who ended their college careers in 2019.

For the regional play, the champions will earn 25 percent of that region's ticket sales. The winners will then advance to the championship, which will be held in Chicago from August 1-6.

The final game will be held at Wintrust Arena on August 6, and the team left standing will take home $2 million for their troubles.

"ESPN took a chance on TBT by streaming our first-ever championship game in 2014, and we've been with them ever since," founder and CEO of TBT Jon Mugar said. "It's hard to believe we've gone from two hours streaming in 2014 to all TBT games available on the ESPN App and 48 hours on linear TV in 2019. It's a testament to their commitment to the event and how our relationship has grown."

Here is a quick look at the TV schedule, live stream and rosters for four of the eight regional games, which will take place from July 19-21.

Chris Paul Announces Team CP3 Lineup

While Chris Paul settles in as a new member of the Oklahoma City Thunder, the nine-time All Star is taking his mind off the NBA to see his Team CP3 compete in the TBT.

Paul's team features a mix of North Carolina natives and former players from his AAU program. Players such as Dez Wells, Waymond Wright, L.J. Peak and P.J. Hairston, who starred at the UNC and was the No. 26 overall pick for the Miami Heat in 2014, will suit up for the veteran point guard's squad.

Another notable team, Loyalty is Love, is fielded by current Los Angeles Lakers big man DeMarcus Cousins.

Scheduled to play for Boogie's team are fellow Kentucky alum Daniel Orton, Oklahoma State alum Markel Brown and former Baylor standouts Pierre Jackson, Quincy Miller and Isaiah Auston.

Team Hines, coached by former Maryland standout Juan Dixon, will be led by shooting guard Nick Calathes, who was drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies in 2014.

Teams will be banking that their star power will be enough to take down the reigning champs, Overseas Elite, which features former NBA players such as Bobby Brown (Houston Rockets) and Jeremy Pargo.

Overseas Elite will be vying for an unprecedented five-peat this year.
