TBT 2025 starts this upcoming weekend! ​⁠ talks with two players on the ​⁠ team ahead of the tournament. Ty Nichols and Sam Peek have had two historic careers at the Division 3 levels and now are big time pros.

Ty Nichols is from Springfield, Massachusetts who played his college career at Keene State. He is the all-time leading scorer at the school and has had a successful overseas career leading clubs to their first ever championship cups.

Sam Peek went to Wesleyan University where early in his career he was getting limited minutes to finishing his career as an All-American. He transferred to a Division 1 school (Stetson) for his final year of college basketball and worked his way to play in the G-League where he's spent the last two seasons.

We Are D3 is coming off of a year winning their first ever game in the TBT. Expectations are higher this year as the team is no longer just an underdog team in the tournament.
