The Basketball Tournament delivered a shocking quarterfinal upset as La Familia edged Boeheim’s Army 70‑66 in a game that swung on an Elam‑ending target of 69.
Archie Goodwin was the catalyst, pouring in a game‑high 30 points and hitting five three‑pointers, several of them in the closing stretch that turned the tide.
The Turning Point
La Familia had trailed 61‑58 with minutes left, but a flurry of defensive stops and clutch baskets sparked a comeback that left the crowd roaring.
Willie Cauley‑Stein and Kahlil Whitney added key contributions, while Boeheim’s Army, led by Ty Nichols’ 18 first‑half points, managed only 31.3 percent shooting overall.
The victory propels La Familia into the Alumni Brackey Championship, where they will meet either Aftershocks or JHX Hoops, a matchup that promises another high‑stakes showdown.
Playing at Historic Memorial Coliseum in Lexington, the contest showcased the intensity and unpredictability that have become hallmarks of the tournament.
