Kentucky's The Basketball Tournament team, La Familia, has a head coach
Kentucky's The Basketball Tournament team, La Familia, has a head coach La Familia, the Kentucky Wildcats alumni team, had a very successful trip to The Basketball Tournament last year, finishing just a few games from the championship. In the 2025 TBT, they're looking to go win it all. The roster isn't complete yet, but Willie Cauley-Stein, the Harrison Twins, and Doron Lamb are set to be a part of it, with more to be added. Now, they also have their new head coach, who follows Tyler Ulis, who did it last year. Sean Woods was a star for the Wildcats under coach Rick Pitino. He was a three-year starter and one of the leaders of the team. He averaged nine points and five assists per game during his time in Lexington. Last year, he was an assistant coach for Ulis and La Familia, so it will be a seamless transition. Woods has coaching experience as well, having had jobs at multiple stops over the past decade plus. He's a guy the players will respect, and he will give it everything he has. Good luck to him when the play starts.

After 4-28 season, Green Bay is seeking approval to play in The Basketball Tournament
Green Bay is seeking NCAA approval to compete in The Basketball Tournament, an event that typically features former college basketball players and offers a $1 million prize to the winning team. ESPN says that Green Bay is seeking an NCAA waiver that would enable it to compete in this event rather than going on an international tour. NCAA rules allow college teams to make an overseas trip to play in exhibition games once every four years. Green Bay athletic director Josh Moon told ESPN that the request was about providing the team more opportunities to play and suggested the prize money could go to charity if the Phoenix happened to win the single-elimination tournament. According to ESPN, Green Bay made the same request last year but received a denial that arrived too late for the school to file an appeal. Green Bay went 4-28 last year in the inaugural season of Doug Gottlieb's coaching tenure. The Basketball Tournament started in 2014 and often features teams of former college or pro players representing their alma maters. Carmen's Crew, a team made up of Ohio State alumni, won the tournament last year for the second time. This year's championship game will take place Aug. 3. Reporting by The Associated Press.
