Connecticut Select team needs your vote

Remember we told you about The Basketball Tournament, an ESPN-created event to be held this summer with a $2 million, winner-take-all pot? Well, a bunch of Connecticut natives, including former Yale forward Brandon Sherrod and New Haven playground legend Bobby Moore, are trying to qualify - and they need your vote.

Teams need to have at least 200 fan votes and seven eligible players on its roster to qualify for the 64-team tourney, and the local team -- named Connecticut Select -- needs more votes. Voting ends at noon on Wednesday and can be done at thetournament.com.

The Connecticut Select roster is listed below:

Bobby Moore 5-10 New Haven

Danny Lawhorn 5-10 Hartford

Julian Allen 6-5 Waterbury

Brandon Sherrod 6-7 Bridgeport
