The Basketball Cup (TBC) is a postseason college basketball tournament designed specifically for teams that did not receive invitations to their respective national tournaments. TBC is structured into four regions, each culminating in the crowning of a regional champion. Teams are grouped by region to minimize travel time and expenses, ensuring a more efficient and cost-effective competition. Uniquely, The Basketball Cup employs the Target Score game ending, where every game concludes on a made basket, adding an exciting and distinctive element to the tournament.
