You can meet La Familia, Kentucky's TBT alumni team, this week

Ahead of Friday’s The Basketball Tournament opener at Rupp Arena, you will have a chance to meet the La Familia team, led by head coach Tyler Ulis. Made up of former Kentucky players (along with Enes Kanter’s brother, Kerem) from the last 15 years, La Familia will make two stops in Lexington this coming week for autograph and picture opportunities with the Big Blue Nation.

On Tuesday, the squad will stop at the Manchester Hotel in downtown Lexington from 6-8 p.m. for an autograph session. Then, the morning after, the crew will head on over to KSBar and Grille for a live remote with the KSR Radio Show from 10 a.m. to noon.
