Preview

Like the past few years, Overseas Elite will be the team to beat this weekend.

The squad is led by D.J. Kennedy, a former St. John's small forward who was named the MVP of The Basketball Tournament in 2015 and 2018. He's played for Overseas Elite in all four of their championship-winning tourneys.

Overseas Elite were the No. 1 seed in the Richmond Regional, where they defeated the No. 8-seeded Hilltop Dawgs, No. 4 Best Virginia and No. 6 Team DRC, winning each of the three games by eight or more points.

One of the top challengers for Overseas Elite could be Eberlein Drive, who made it to the championship game last year before losing 70-58. Like the Overseas Elite, Eberlein Drive's roster is composed of players who play professionally overseas.

At the Salt Lake City Regional, Eberlein Drive won each of their three games by three or fewer points. Former University of California guard Jerome Randle made the game-winning shot in each of the first two games, then he scored a game-high 18 points in a 68-67 win over Team Challenge ALS to send Eberlein Drive to the quarterfinals.

"I'm exhausted, but our team showed a lot of heart," Randle said after the last win, according to the Deseret News' Trent Wood. "[Team Challenge ALS] did a lot of talking, but we let the game come to us."

In addition to Eberlein Drive, there are four other No. 1 seeds that will be looking to dethrone Overseas Elite as champions. Carmen's Crew, Golden Eagles, Loyalty Is Love and Team Hines also all won three games in the regional round to advance to this week's quarterfinals.
