What channel is Kentucky TBT team on? How to watch La Familia in The Basketball Tournament
LEXINGTON — Nearly 4,000 fans showed up at Rupp Arena Friday night to watch La Familia, a Kentucky basketball alumni team, face the 305 Ballers. The outfit flush with former Wildcats sent their supporters home happy, rolling to an 82-56 victory in the first round of The Basketball Tournament.
But in terms of attendance, the team is hoping for more come Sunday, when it squares off with The Nawf, a team comprised of players from the Atlanta area.
“We just want everybody to come out,” said Aaron Harrison, who had 13 points, five rebounds and two assists in Friday’s win. “We had a crazy crowd today. We expect it to be even crazier on Sunday. So we just want to encourage everybody to come out and have fun. I think we had a lot of fun in here today. We just want to fill Rupp.”
Tyler Ulis hopes that comes to pass.
“This is an opportunity that I feel like we won’t get much,” said Ulis, a former UK star and La Familia’s head coach. “Some of these guys are at the end of their careers, so I feel like all the fans should come out and support (them).”
The Nawf clinched its spot in the round of 32 with an 87-76 win over WoCo Showtime on Friday.
The winner of Sunday’s La Familia/The Nawf game moves on to the round of 16. That contest will be Tuesday night against the winner of Herd That/War Ready, which play at noon Sunday.

Ohio tornado warnings: what residents should know
Severe storms June 17 in Ohio: know tornado watch vs. warning, safety steps, shelters and alerts.
A tornado was confirmed to have ripped through the Florence area during the overnight storms June 18.
The National Weather Service in Wilmington released a statement June 20 saying a tornado traveled eastward 6.2 miles across the Northern Kentucky city, 10 miles south of Cincinnati. It had estimated peak winds of 100 mph, which classifies it as an EF1 “moderate” tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
The tornado’s path goes mostly through residential areas, and the first evidence was found on Landings Way where several trees were snapped at their trunks, the weather service reported.
The tornado progressed east, crossing Interstate 71/75 and then seemingly dissipating on Tallwood Circle where multiple large branches were downed, the final known instance of damage.
Along the way, the tornado uprooted multiple trees and snapped branches, damaged several buildings and businesses, and snapped a large power pole near the intersection of U.S. 42 and Dream Street, according to the weather service.
How many tornadoes have been confirmed in Greater Cincinnati, beyond?
As of 1 p.m. June 20, the weather service has confirmed that apart from the one in Florence, two other tornadoes touched down in Greater Cincinnati on June 18:
- An EF2 “significant” tornado that traveled about 9 miles from Dearborn County, Indiana, to Boone County, Kentucky.
- An EF2 “significant” tornado that traveled just over 5 miles from Franklin County, Indiana, to Butler County, Ohio.
A few other tornadoes have been confirmed outside the Greater Cincinnati region, including an EF2 that traveled 23.6 miles from Scott County, Indiana, to Trimble County, Kentucky; an EF2 that traveled 9 miles across Pike County, Ohio; and one in Grant County, Kentucky, just north of Williamstown.
The weather service said details on the Grant County tornado will be released later on June 20.
