Unrivaled's $200K 1-on-1 Tournament: A Star-Studded Affair!
The highly anticipated 1-on-1 basketball tournament is back, and the stakes are higher than ever! Unrivaled's second edition features a 32-player showdown, with a whopping $200,000 prize on the line. But who will claim the throne? The competition just got real!
The top seeds have been revealed, and it's a who's who of basketball talent. Breanna Stewart, a force to be reckoned with and co-founder of Unrivaled, takes the No. 1 spot. She's joined by fellow superstars Kelsey Mitchell, Paige Bueckers, and Allisha Gray, each claiming a top seed. But here's where it gets interesting...
The seeding process was a democratic affair, with players, coaches, fans, and media all having a say. And the first-round matchups are set to deliver some thrilling encounters. Stewart faces off against Li Yeuru, while Bueckers, Mitchell, and Gray take on Kate Martin, Rachel Banham, and Saniya Rivers, respectively.
But wait, there's more! The underdog story of the tournament might just be Natasha Cloud, seeded seventh, who will battle it out with second-seeded Chelsea Gray. Will she defy the odds and become a Cinderella story? Only time will tell.
And this is the part most fans will love: a new champion is guaranteed! With last year's winner, Napheesa Collier, out due to injury, the title is up for grabs. The winner takes home a life-changing $200,000, while the runner-up secures a cool $50,000. Even the semifinalists get a piece of the pie with $25,000 each.
So, mark your calendars for this epic tournament. The first round tips off on Wednesday at 7 p.m. on truTV. The excitement continues on Friday at 7:30 p.m. on TNT with the second round and quarterfinals, and the semifinals will keep you on the edge of your seat on Saturday at 6 p.m., also on TNT. Who will rise to the top? Tune in to find out!
