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
