Kentucky alumni team La Familia defeated The Nawf to advance to the third round of The Basketball Tournament.

The Kentucky basketball season doesn’t begin for another few months, and fans are excited to see how the new roster looks. However, Big Blue Nation can watch La Familia, a team made up for former Wildcats, compete in The Basketball Tournament (TBT) in the meantime.

On Sunday, La Familia faced off against The Nawf in the second round, and got the win by a score of 81 – 64. That advances them to the third round where they’ll play Herd That, a Marshall alumni team.
