Is Toronto United really a basketball team?

Did a quick search and it was inconclusive.

Also found it interesting they were basically wearing the same uniforms as us.

Well they were really bad which worked out for us playing poorly for part of the game. I think any SEC team would have beaten them.

No. It's a hand-picked team by Roy Rana (the coach at Ryerson University in Canada, which won the national championship up there this past year. He also coaches the Canadian National Team, and has coached the World Team in the Hoop Summit every year since 2011). The team included ~6 players from Ryerson, Andrew Nicholson (center that spent 6 years in the NBA, is currently averaging 23 and 9 in China for a top team there), and 5 former D1 players from schools like Oklahoma, Michigan, Auburn, South Carolina.

Thanks for the info.

It makes you salty that we played so well, eh?

Toronto had players with pro and ncaa - experience, but no continuity. Still enough talent to beat most college teams. the 2nd and 3rd wins were against very respectable bona fide pro opponents, though. We beat them all by wide margins in 5 days. That ought to impress anybody.
