LEXINGTON — It all comes down to this.
Alumni teams from archrivals Louisville and Kentucky will meet for a third time in five days today at Memorial Coliseum with a spot in The Basketball Tournament‘s second round on the line.
The winner will move one step closer to the competition’s $2 million grand prize, setting up a single-elimination game against either the Syracuse alumni team or Seton Hall alumni team at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 26. The loser will go home.
The Ville took Game 2 in dominant fashion Monday, July 20, at Freedom Hall — riding a 35-point performance from Montrezl Harrell to an 82-62 win. When the teams met in Lexington for Game 1 over the weekend, La Familia held off a furious rally from the former Cardinals to emerge with a 72-68 victory.
“If we can look at the game and just think of it as, ‘Each possession means everything to us,’ I think we’ll be in a good spot,” The Ville coach Michael Baffour said after his team evened the series Monday, looking ahead to today’s decisive matchup.
