The Louisville alumni squad erupted in an 82‑62 win over their Kentucky counterparts, with Montrezl Harrell delivering a career‑high 35 points that turned the series dead‑even.
A Second‑Quarter Surge
Harrell ignited a 15‑0 run midway through the quarter, scoring 12 of those points himself and pushing the lead to double digits.
Redemption Arc
The performance marked a stark contrast to Game 1, where Harrell managed only three field‑goal attempts by the third quarter, a showing he described as underwhelming.
The Ville maintained that momentum into the second half, never allowing the margin to dip below 15 points and at one stage stretching it to 26.
With the win, the alumni teams now turn their attention to a decisive Game 3 scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 22 at Memorial Coliseum in Lexington, Kentucky.
Harrell’s 42‑point outing on Sunday set a new Big3 single‑game scoring record, underscoring his impact on the tournament’s narrative.
