The Richmond Regional of The Basketball Tournament 2019 was conquered by Overseas Elite after the 78-70 victory over Team DRC on Sunday at the Siegel Center. The win brought the four-time defending champions to the Championship Round, which will take place at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena between August 1st and August 6th.
Jeremy Pargo shared a team-high 16 points with Justin Burrell, who grabbed ten rebounds as well. Bobby Brown went for 14 points with 4/6 shots beyond the arc.
Up next for the Overseas Elite will be DeMarcus Cousins’ Loyalty is Love. Team Hines, Greensboro Regional winner, will face Team Brotherly Love. The other quarterfinals matchups feature Eberlein Drive versus Carmen’s Crew and Jackson TN Underdawgs versus the Golden Eagles Alumni.
Out of the eight teams that will make the trip to Chicago, only one will be crowned champion and secure the grand prize of two million dollars.
