After being handed a gnarly 20-point loss by The Ville last week, La Familia recovered at home when it mattered, advancing to the single-elimination second round to face the previously undefeated Boeheim’s Army. The Syracuse alumni, too, fell to our former Cats, elevating La Familia to a cushy position in the TBT Alumni Championship. One more win will advance them to the final round.
And now, after a grueling wait, we know who will step into the ring across from the blue and white. JHX Hoops, the Kansas alumni team, beat out Wichita State’s Aftershocks (last year’s champs) on the road, meaning a 2012 National Championship rematch (of sorts) is officially in order.
Beating Louisville’s team in the first round satisfied a great many Kentucky fans as it were, but at their current rate of success, you couldn’t blame anyone for believing that La Familia has the tools to go all the way. A win this Wednesday at Memorial Coliseum will put them in position to do just that…
