Tyler Nelson hit an off-balance three-pointer to hit the Target Score and send The Nerd Team past top seed and defending champion Boeheim’s Army, 81-74. Nelson finished with a game-high 23 points on 8-for-14 shooting in the win for The Nerd Team, which used a 14-0 first half-run to build a 22-point lead before holding off a furious Boeheim’s Army rally to come away with the upset win. Jelan Kendrick had 10 points and nine rebounds in the win for The Nerd Team, which shot 55% from beyond the arc. Matt Morgan’s 19 points led the way in the losing effort for Boeheim’s Army, which made the game close with a 20-5 fourth-quarter run but failed in its quest to repeat as TBT champions.
