La Familia advanced to the Alumni Bracket championship after knocking off Boeheim's Army on Sunday afternoon, but would have to wait until Monday night to figure out who their next opponent would be. Now, we officially know who La Familia will face off against, and it's an old friend that UK has a ton of history with: The Kansas Jayhawks (JHX Hoops).
JHX Hoops took down the defending champs from Wichita State, also known as the AfterShocks, on Monday night, 64-59, with a big-time 3-pointer as the dagger by former Wooden Award winner Frank Mason III.
Zeke Mayo (Kansas 2024-25), who transferred in from South Dakota State, where he had quite the collegiate career before making his way to Lawrence. In the game versus the AfterShocks on Monday, he led JHX Hoops in scoring with 25 of his own.
Kentucky and Kansas have a ton of history in college basketball, facing off a grand total of 36 times, with the Cats coming out victorious in 24 of those games. So now it's only right that the two face off in another level of basketball in The Basketball Tournament.
Wednesday's matchup will decide which TBT team will be the champion of the Alumni bracket and ultimately face off against the Non-Alumni bracket champion for $2 million.

After Monday, this was shocking.
Former Lobo Vance Jackson hit seven 3-pointers and scored a game-high 29 points to lead The Enchantment, a UNM and NMSU alumni basketball team, to a stunning 74-68 win over the Aftershocks, a team of Wichita State alumni, on Thursday night in Game 2 of the best of three TBT opening round series in Wichita's Koch Arena.
The decisive Game 3 in the first round of the $2 million, winner-take-all tournament is Friday at 7 p.m. MT (8 p.m. CT in Wichita). The game will be broadcast on either FS1 or FS2.
In Monday's Game 1, the defending champion Aftershocks blew out Enchantment, 98-77, in a game that wasn't even as close as that 21-point deficit suggested.
Thursday night, Jackson scored 17 of his 25 by halftime and Enchantment led 34-33 at the break — three days after a game in which they trailed by 48-22 at the half and by as many as 26 points in the third quarter.

PHILADELPHIA − So there was Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, back for his sixth season, a survivor in every sense of the word.
Two other coaches have been run out of Philadelphia ever since Andy Reid's 14-year reign ended in 2012. Chip Kelly's innovations ended up wearing out his players − and his welcome − by his third season. Doug Pederson won the franchise's first Super Bowl in the 2017 season, then refused to adapt after the 2020 debacle.
Sirianni inherited the aftershocks of Pederson's mess, in his first head coaching opportunity, and has since taken the Eagles to the playoffs in each of his five seasons, the Super Bowl twice, winning once.

Sirianni's overall winning percentage of .694 is the third highest of any NFL coach through his first five seasons during the Super Bowl era, trailing only Hall of Famers and NFL coaching legends Vince Lombardi and John Madden.

When massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake shook **** an on March 11, 2011, the ground also made a more lasting move. About 15 minutes after the event began at 2:46 p.m. local time, nearly the entire country shifted eastward, according to GPS station measurements.
The lurch was small — 5 to 6 millimeters, or 0.20 to 0.24 inches — but permanent and at the time went largely unnoticed or was passed off as a data glitch. However, University of Chicago geophysicist Sunyoung Park felt the recorded signals that indicated a shift pointed to something tangible. In fact, the ground movement reflected an "extraordinary" and previously undocumented seismic phenomenon, according to a new study.
"What was unusual about this movement is basically the whole of **** an was moving nearly uniformly at the same time," said Park, who led the research.
She added that the movement, which affected mainland **** an — Hokkaido to Kyushu — an area approximately 1,800 miles (3,000 kilometers) in length, did not match the timing of the initial earthquake, and it happened before any significant aftershocks.
After years of **** yzing GPS and seismic data, Park and her colleagues found that waves from the earthquake had traveled down to Earth's core and then rebounded to the crust, displacing four major tectonic plates.
