Boeheim’s Army Eyes First Championship Since 2021 as They Face La Familia

Cole Swider’s double‑double fuels a semifinal showdown that could rewrite the tournament’s recent history

A Historic Opportunity

The Basketball Tournament’s Alumni Bracket semifinal pits Boeheim’s Army against La Familia in a clash that could rewrite recent history. The winner will advance to the championship, a stage the program has not reached since 2021, making the stakes unusually high for both squads.

Boeheim’s Army entered the quarterfinal with a decisive victory, a performance anchored by Cole Swider’s 21.5 points and 11.0 rebounds. Tyson Walker, Buddy Boeheim, Kaodirichi Akobundu‑Ehiogu and Elijah Hughes all contributed double‑digit scoring, underscoring a balanced attack that left opponents scrambling to contain a multi‑dimensional offense.

Facing La Familia, a squad that has advanced through its own series of tight contests, Boeheim’s Army sees more than a chance at a title; they view the game as a pathway back to the championship round for the first time since 2021, a milestone that would cement the program’s resurgence.

The matchup will be streamed live on Fubo, with coverage also available through FOX, giving fans across the United States and beyond a front‑row view of what promises to be a pivotal moment in college‑basketball lore.
