We went 0-for-5 on our predictions, but Carmen's Crew did make some roster additions on Monday – they just aren't exactly new faces.
The Ohio State alumni TBT team announced that Lauderdale would be returning to action this year for the first time since 2018 after serving as an assistant coach during last year's title run.

The move gives Carmen's Crew a much-needed size boost as Evan Ravenel was the team's only big man previously.
Carmen's Crew also announced the additions of Otterbein alum and Columbus-native Jeff Gibbs as well as Illinois alum Demetri McCamey.
Gibbs will be returning to the team once again after playing with the squad in every previous TBT tournament.

McCamey rejoins the team after contributing to last season's TBT championships run.

With the three additions, Ohio State now has an eight-man roster also featuring Aaron Craft, Jon Diebler, William Buford, David Lighty and the aforementioned Ravenel, along with coaches Jared Sullinger and Evan Turner.

Carmen's Crew's TBT title defense is slated to begin on campus as Ohio State is partnering with the tournament to host the Columbus Regional in the school's new Covelli Center from July 23-26.
