The final showdown of this year’s TBT $2 million championship pits two very different paths against each other, each earned through a grueling bracket.
Davis Steel secured its spot by edging The Mecca 71‑69 in the Non‑Alumni Finals, a victory highlighted by Gabe York’s 16 points, Anthony Clemmons’ 13 and a timely contribution from DJ Rodman off the bench.
Across the other side of the draw, La Familia surged past JHX Hoops to claim the Alumni title, with former Kentucky standout Archie Goodwin pouring in 28 points to keep the championship dream alive.
Offensive firepower and shooting woes
Davis Steel arrives in the final with an average close to 80 points per game and a 43 percent success rate from beyond the arc, while La Familia’s three‑point shooting sits at just 33.9 percent, a factor that could prove decisive.
Both squads sit near the bottom of the league in defensive metrics, meaning the contest is likely to be decided by which offense can impose its will on a porous defense.
Betting landscape
The odds favor Davis Steel by a modest 3.5 points, a line that reflects both their scoring edge and the public’s confidence in the Steel‑town roster. DraftKings Sportsbook will be among the platforms offering live wagering on the matchup.
As the championship approaches, fans can expect a high‑stakes affair that blends alumni pride with industrial grit, all under the bright lights of a tournament that has already delivered plenty of drama.
