The countdown to the 2026 The Basketball Tournament is on, and Boeheim’s Army now knows who it will be playing in the opening round.
Boeheim’s Army will take on the alumni from an old Big East foe: Seton Hall, TBT announced Thursday. As part of the new format for this year’s TBT, the ‘Cuse and Seton Hall alums will play in a best-of-three series.
Game 1 will take place on Tuesday, July 21. Boeheim’s Army and Hall In will first face each other at Walsh Gymnasium on Seton Hall’s campus. After that, Game 2 will be

The winner will advance to round two of the tournament. Games will be single-elimination from the second round onward.
