The Ville, the University of Louisville’s alumni basketball squad, posted a convincing 82‑62 victory over La Familia in the second game of their best‑of‑three series, putting them one win away from claiming the championship in Lexington.
Dominance in the Paint
The Ville’s interior presence proved overwhelming, as they poured 40 points into the paint while out‑rebounding La Familia 43‑to‑30. The second quarter was especially brutal, with the Ville outscoring their opponents 24‑7 and building a 36‑22 halftime lead.
Efficiency and Defense
La Familia managed just 20‑of‑59 shooting, including an 8‑of‑25 effort from beyond the arc, while The Ville’s defense forced a series of missed looks that kept the game out of reach.
A Winner‑Take‑All Finale
With the series tied 1‑1, game three will be played on the road in Lexington, where the stakes could not be higher. A victory would cement The Ville’s first‑ever win over La Familia and swing momentum decisively in their favor.
Key contributors included Montrezl Harrell, who erupted for 35 points, and fellow alumni David Johnson and Alex Matthews, each adding 15. Guard Andrew Harrison and forward Trey Lewis also saw meaningful minutes, underscoring the depth of the roster.
