Future Kentucky big man Somto Cyril participated in The Basketball Tournament for Team Overtime earlier tonight.
Cyril is the first amateur player to ever play in the TBT event.
Carmen’s Crew, a team made up primarily of former Ohio State player, defeated Team Overtime 80-68, but Cyril had some impressive highlights.

Cyril finished with 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocked shots in 16 minutes.
As of now, Cyril is committed to Kentucky’s 2024 recruiting class. There is still a chance he will reclassify and join the class of 2023.
