The Basketball Tournament, an annual five-on-five, single-elimination high-stakes tournament (2017 prize: $2 million) kicks off its regionals next month in places ranging from Charlotte to Las Vegas.

One team vying for the prize is the Midwest's No. 2 seed, the Scarlet and Gray, which plays 14th-seeded The Region on July 15 at 3:15 ET at Bradley University. The team includes Scoonie Penn, Jon Diebler, Aaron Craft, David Lighty, William Buford, Evan Ravenel and Dallas Lauderdale.

(Note: Though listed on the official roster, Greg Oden told ESPN's Outside the Lines earlier this week that he won't participate.)

And though the Buckeye alumni-loaded roster may not win the championship, even the owner of the tournament agrees they'll be the best dressed.

The championship game of the tournament will be held Aug. 3 in Baltimore Maryland on ESPN. Full information available at its website.
