TBT Alumni Championship: Kentucky’s La Familia Faces JHX Hoops on FS1

Fox Corporation will air the 2026 TBT (The Basketball Tournament) alumni bracket championship game on Wednesday night. The contest features Kentucky’s “La Familia” squad taking on Kansas alumni team JHX Hoops, with the victor advancing to a final match for a $2 million prize purse.

The matchup renews a collegiate rivalry that historically favors Kentucky, which leads the all-time series 24-12. The Wildcats notably defeated Kansas in the 2012 NCAA Championship game. However, recent trends have shifted toward the Jayhawks, who have won six of the last eight meetings between the programs.

JHX Hoops will look to guard Zeke Mayo, who is averaging more than 20 points per game in the tournament, alongside sharpshooter Frank Mason. For La Familia, Archie Goodwin is expected to anchor the offense, though the team will need secondary scoring contributors to secure the win at Historic Memorial Coliseum in Lexington, KY.

Financial markets for Fox Corporation, the parent company of broadcaster Fox Sports 1, showed positive movement ahead of the event. The stock is currently trading at $58.63, representing a 2.05% increase from the previous close of $57.45. The company holds a market capitalization of approximately $24.25 billion and operates within the Communication Services sector, specifically focusing on news and sports content production and licensing.
