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.
