La Familia to Face Davis Steel in TBT Championship

Kentucky alumni basketball team eyes title as Fox broadcasts the final

The upcoming TBT Championship game will pit Kentucky's alumni squad La Familia against Davis Steel, a team that rebranded from Eberlein Drive, at Memorial Coliseum in Lexington on Sunday, August 2.

A clash of alumni legacies

Tip‑off is scheduled for 1 p.m. Eastern, with the contest set to be televised on Fox and streamed via the Fox Sports App.

La Familia entered the final after a decisive 78‑65 semifinal victory over JHX Hoops, showcasing a balanced attack that left coach John Hynes praising the team's depth.

Davis Steel, meanwhile, advanced by edging The Mecca 71‑69 in a dramatic finish that saw guard Terrell Brown sink a clutch three‑pointer to seal a 7‑0 run.

That three‑point burst came after The Mecca had closed within two points of the Elam Ending target, turning the final minutes into a showcase of nerves and precision.

The championship game carries extra significance, as Davis Steel had previously eliminated La Familia in the 2023 round of 16, edging them out 71‑70 in a heart‑stopping encounter at the same venue.

This time, the alumni team hopes to reverse that result and capture the $100,000 prize that accompanies the title.

Both rosters feature a mix of former college stars from programs such as South Carolina, Arizona and Washington, adding a layer of intrigue for basketball fans tracking the alumni talent pool.

Fans can expect a high‑energy contest, with the atmosphere amplified by the historic setting of Memorial Coliseum, a site that has witnessed many of the tournament’s most memorable moments.

The broadcast partnership with Fox ensures national exposure, while the Fox Sports App will provide additional viewing options for those tuning in online.
