La Familia, a squad composed of former University of Kentucky basketball alumni, fought back from a double‑digit hole to edge past Boeheim's Army in a tightly contested quarterfinal of The Basketball Tournament.
After establishing a 12‑point advantage in the opening frame, the Kentucky contingent saw their lead evaporate as the Syracuse‑affiliated team rallied, ultimately seizing a 61‑58 edge as the game entered the Elam Ending.
With the clock winding down, Archie Goodwin’s missed layup set the stage for Kahlil Whitney to deliver the game‑winning putback, sealing a 70‑66 victory.
The win not only secured La Familia’s place in the semifinals but also set a date for a 7 p.m. showdown on Wednesday, July 29, at the same venue.
Semifinal Outlook
Their opponent will be the victor of the other quarterfinal that pits Kansas alumni JHX Hoops against Wichita State alums Aftershocks, adding another layer of intrigue to the upcoming round.
