The Xavier University-based alumni team for The Basketball Tournament (TBT) has landed its next commitment in former Musketeer Adam Kunkel.

Kunkel, a 2018 Cooper High School graduate who was a Mr. Kentucky Basketball Finalist, began his collegiate career with two seasons at Belmont before transferring to Xavier in July 2020.

Kunkel appeared in 50 games, making eight starts, in his first two seasons at Xavier under Travis Steele and helped lead the Musketeers to an NIT Championship in 2022.

One year later, Kunkel was a key cog in Sean Miller's return to Cintas Center. As a full-time starter, Kunkel averaged 10.9 points and 3 assists per game while shooting 42.5% from 3-point range to help lead the Musketeers to the Sweet 16.

Kunkel joins former Xavier greats Trevon Bluiett and Paul Scruggs on Zip 'Em Up's 2024 roster.

The 64-team TBT will be played across eight regions beginning on Friday, July 19. The University of Cincinnati's Fifth Third Arena is one of five new regional venues this summer, along with Lexington, Houston, Pittsburgh and Butler.
