Now that all 184 All-Time Great Men's Teams and 16 All-Time Great Women's teams have been used in the Value Add Basketball Game, we wanted to recap the four tournaments to date (since 2020) and then list the teams in the two ongoing tournaments. We track all scores here.
We will put the historic tournaments in table form first. For each one, the first team listed in the team that won the tournament, followed by the runner-up and the score of the title game by both. Then we list the other two Final Four teams for that tournament and which team each lost to in the semifinals. Finally we list where the teams ranks now based on results, followed by where they were ranked based on their cards.
For example, Bill Walton's UCLA team appears to have the best cards (second number of #1) and actually lived up to that standing with the tournament run so is currently ranked #1. However, Michael Jordan's UNC team appears to be our #11 team based on their cards, but has moved up to #7 based on the results and runner-up finish in our first tournament.
