The Basketball Tournament (TBT) is down to the Sensational Seven.

With Aftershocks defeating Gutter Cat Gang in the first Quarterfinal game, there are now seven teams remaining as we head into the TBT Championship Week at the University of Dayton Arena. First up, Xavier Regional winner #1 Florida TNT will take on the champs out of Rucker Park, #2 American for Autism (Thurs. July 28, 7pm ET on ESPN2). That will be followed by a double-header on Friday, as Syracuse winner #2 Blue Collar U faces off with the New Mexico Regional winner #1 Heartfire (July 29 at 7pm ET on ESPN), and a battle of #1-seeds when Red Scare takes on Best Virginia (9pm ET on ESPN).

To get you ready for the game, we reached out to the hosts of the Inside TBT podcast, Joey Lane and Andrew Zoldan, to get a quick preview and their predictions. Check out their preview of Florida TNT vs. Americana for Autism and Red Scare vs. Best Virginia below, along with the full schedule for TBT Championship Week.

Bonus: Blue Collar U vs Heartfire

“A couple of teams that have been there, done that. We’re very familiar with getting back to Dayton. Obviously team Heartfire, formerly Team 23, were the runner-up last year. This game screams guard play to me; who’s gonna come out on top is gonna be who has the better guards. Wes Clark on Blue Collar U hits big time shots like it's his job. And on the other side, the most impressive guy, in my opinion, in the TBT so far, Eric Washington, who just owns the Elam Ending. The game will come down to guard play, it will be a hard-fought, tough-nosed game. But you’ll have to check it out live from Dayton in order to really get a feel from it. It’s going to be an awesome, awesome matchup. I’m leaning with team Heartfire, because I’ve got to go with guard play, got to go with the best guy in the tournament so far, Eric Washington. I’ve got team Heartfire winning.” - Joey Lane
