Carmen's Crew are an American basketball team that regularly participates in The Basketball Tournament (TBT), an annual winner-take-all single-elimination tournament. The team first played in the tournament in 2017 under the name Scarlet & Gray, and won the championship in 2019 and 2024.[1] The team's roster consists of professional basketball players who compete outside of the NBA, most of whom played college basketball for the Ohio State Buckeyes men's basketball team. The TBT team is an independent entity that was previously named after the college team's colors (scarlet and gray), and is currently named after Ohio State's school song ("Carmen Ohio"). The team last competed in the 2024 edition of TBT.
