    TBT

    How are we feeling about La Familia this time around? I think we’re gonna miss Bledsoe’s talent and Sestina’s shooting. Not real familiar with the two non-wildcats on the roster…

    I think Lamb and AA can make up for the shooting. No offense to Bledsoe but he looked like he was giving about 30% in the games I saw last year. I did see one of the non UK guys is a Lexington native and played with Mizzou last year, and the other is Kanter’s brother.

    It’s a fun thing to watch in the summer and hope there’s another UK-ul match up.

      I think Kanter was the best player for LaFamilia last year. PG is what seemed to be lacking last year.

        Feel like we should be really good again. Good easily win it all if the ball bounces our way a couple times.

          Archie Goodwin was a good pickup. He can hoop in this sort of setup.

          Lamb will be a knockdown shooter.

            Kentucky beat La Familia in today’s scrimmage, fwiw.

                I can't get into it either. I don't hate it. Just don't care to watch much basketball other than the college game. I can't get into the NBA anymore. Haven't in a long time but I hope all our guys do well.

                  I watched a few of the games last year. It's fun to watch because it brings together players from different years together, and it's cool to see what they're up to now. I thought Bledsoe was supposed to be on this team, but I guess he backed out?

                    I’ve never watched one second of those games. Couldn’t tell you what TBT stands for, what the tournament is about, why they do it, etc.

                      Not watched any of it but I think it's a good avenue for Cal guys to come back to Kentucky and for Pope to bridge that era gap. KSR had basically the entire team on their show last year to talk about their time at UK, and it was great to hear the unanimous appreciation they had for their UK days.

                        TBT stands for "The Basketball Tournament" There's 61 teams this year Comprised of ex College and pro players, competing in a Tournament for a winner take all $1 million prize. Should give it a chance, it's fun and competitive.

                        TBT will play in exciting regions around the country from July 18th - Aug 3rd. Winner takes home the $1 Million cash prize.

                          I love watching it and can't wait to watch the old players suit up again this off season. Love having Lamb, AA , and Goodwin on the team this year. They might even win the whole dag gone thing!

                            You guys should give it a chance! I thought it was pretty exciting last year and it’s awesome to have an alumni team in the mix. I want UK to dominate at everything basketball related and this is just another opportunity to flex haha. It’s definitely fun seeing players from different years play together. Hopefully the twins show up in shape, they looked slow and out of shape last year imo…should be fun!

                              I thought this was a throw back Thursday thread and we were all making stuff like the things we used to say

                              I was going to say let’s just wait for Camp cal and the tweak and we may run the SEC this year!!

                              but it’s about the basketball tournament and no, I won’t be watching
