See the full story · 2 sourcesThe Kentucky Wildcats alumni squad, La Familia, knocked off Kansas-themed JHX Hoops in the TBT Alumni Finals by a final score of 78-65. The Wildcats sent the Jayhawks home thanks to Archie Goodwin, who hit a fadeaway jumper to seal the game.
Even though head coach Jon Hood and general manager Twany Beckham dealt with some roster complications early on in this summer tournament, this team has found its groove and is hungry for a TBT championship.
La Familia will await the winner of Davis Steel or The Mecca in the non-alumni bracket. Those two teams will face off on Thursday night for a spot in the Championship game against La Familia in Lexington.
Basketball is always a big deal in Lexington, no matter what time of the year it is, and it’s been a special couple of weeks watching all these former Cats win an alumni championship, as they’re now one game away from a TBT title and $2 million.
So, let’s check out how BBN celebrated La Familia’s alumni championship on Twitter.

After the game, I asked Archie about his interaction during the game with the current Kentucky players. He says he has been around the current players, and he loves this group and has connected with them really well. He says he loves how together they are and the way they work. https://t.co/kbiWBLWtTE pic.twitter.com/DEyDY3wHmr
