The Basketball Tournament

The Basketball Tournament (TBT), the 64-team, $1 million winner-take-all event, announced that the city of Lexington and Rupp Arena will host a TBT regional in 2024. The regional will be headlined by Kentucky alumni team La Familia, whose roster will feature former Wildcats guard and 11-year NBA veteran Eric Bledsoe.

Lexington Regional games will be played at Rupp Arena from July 19-23.

Tickets for the 2024 Lexington Regional will go on sale at a later date. To be the first to secure tickets for the event, fans can sign up for TBT’s waitlist at thetournament.com/tbt/tickets.

“I’m very excited to be returning to Lexington this summer, and to have the opportunity to represent the University of Kentucky again while playing for La Familia,” said Eric Bledsoe. “My time at the University of Kentucky was incredibly special, and I can’t wait to see the support from Wildcats nation this summer.”

La Familia is organized by general manager Twany Beckham, who played at Kentucky from 2011-13.  The Kentucky alumni team will be joined in the regional by seven other teams hoping to emerge one step closer to TBT’s $1M grand prize.
