Sibert, a 2015 UD graduate, made his TBT debut last year. He scored 17 points in the first round in an 88-44 victory against BC Vahakni City and had five points in the second round in a 76-69 loss to Category 5. Both games took place at Ohio State’s Covelli Center in Columbus.
“Sibert is a UD legend and brings a ton of valuable experience for us,” Gruden said. “His shot-making ability alone will give us a huge boost, and he can change a game quick. He’s another unbelievable guy and a veteran who will be valuable on and off the court for us. We’re super excited to have him back.”
Sibert and the Red Scare fell short of playing at UD Arena, where the final three rounds of the tournament where held last year, but he did participate in the 33-Point Contest on his old home court, losing in the semifinals of the shooting contest. This summer, the team will play at UD Arena as long as it’s alive in the $1 million winner-take-all tournament.
TBT regional games will be held at UD Arena from July 24-27, and there will be three quarterfinal games July 29-30, two semifinals July 31 and the championship game Aug. 2 at the arena. Tickets are available on Ticketmaster.com.
Sibert played with another former Flyer, Ibi Watson, with the College Park Skyhawks in the NBA G League last season before being traded to the Wisconsin Herd. He averaged 8.5 points in 24 games.
