(LEX 18) — The La Familia TBT team has announced the addition of March Madness legend Aaron Harrison. Harrison is best remembered for his game-winning shots over Louisville, Michigan, and Wisconsin that pushed Kentucky to the 2014 NCAA Championship game. He and his twin brother Andrew took the Wildcats to back-to-back Final Fours. Now, they'll join together again to bring a TBT championship to the blue and white.
Harrison has had a lengthy professional career and most recently played for FC Porto in Portugal for the 2024 season, where he helped his team win the Portuguese Basketball Cup.
The inaugural La Familia roster includes the Harrisons, Nate Sestina, James Young, Daniel Orton, Kellan Grady, Marquis Teague, Willie Cauley-Stein, Eric Bledsoe, Doron Lamb, and Reid Travis. Coaching the team will be Tyler Ulis.
