The first matchup of the alumni‑focused TBT series delivered a tightly contested battle, as La Familia edged out The Ville 72‑68. The victory gave the Kentucky contingent an early edge in the best‑of‑three showdown.
Darryl Morsell was the offensive catalyst, finishing with 17 points while also pulling down five rebounds and dishing out three assists. His all‑around effort helped steady the team in the fourth quarter.
Looking ahead
Game two is slated for later this week, and the matchup will be televised live on FS1, with coverage beginning at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
The roster will be without Marcus Lee, who is listed as out for the next game, while forward Willie Cauley‑Stein is listed as questionable, leaving the coaching staff to weigh options at the wing.
If a third game becomes necessary, it is scheduled to be played in Lexington at Memorial Coliseum, adding a home‑court element for the Kentucky alumni.
