• Kentucky alumni team La Familia eliminated after a 71–70 regional final loss to Eberlein Drive

La Familia led late into the Elam Ending but missed a clutch free throw from Archie Goodwin. Anthony Clemmons sank the go‑ahead 3‑pointer for Eberlein Drive, sealing the upset. Despite a valiant rally and strong showings from Goodwin, Whitney, and the Harrison Twins, the UK alumni run ended in heartbreak.
