Herd That is an American basketball team that participates in The Basketball Tournament (TBT), an annual winner-take-all single-elimination tournament.

The roster of Herd That consists of professional basketball players who compete outside of the NBA.[1]
Through the 2024 tournament, the team has amassed a record of 11–7 (.611) in TBT play.
