DUBOIS, Pa. - The DuBois Dream will start their run in ESPN's The Basketball Tournament Friday.
The Dream will travel to Los Angeles to start their campaign in the 72 team tournament Friday at 10 p.m.
The Basketball Tournament is winner-take-all tournament with the winning team bringing home $2 million.
If the Dream run the table, they will donate their winnings to the Dr. Albert Varacallo Foundation, The Arc of Jefferson and Clearfield Counties, and Grady's Decision, and they have plans to raise money for a new team gym to launch a youth basketball program.
This year's Dream squad will also feature two Penn State DuBois alumni, Sam Roselli and Tristian Pierce.
"This is actually where the DuBois Dream started, in TBT, back in 2016," said DuBois Dream general manager Albert Varacallo.
"I chose Tristan and Sam to be a part of the DuBois Dream to compete against the top level talent in TBT, because they are good players, good people, and are local talent coming from PSUD that are dedicated to helping this team succeed. They did a great job getting votes to help us qualify for TBT so they definitely deserved to be on the roster."
The Dream's first game can be seen live Friday on ESPN 3.
