Kentucky Wildcats stun Louisville Cardinals 63-57 to secure a spot in 2026 TBT quarterfinals
The Kentucky Wildcats stunned the Louisville Cardinals 63-57 to secure a spot in the 2026 TBT quarterfinals on Wednesday! Archie Goodwin dropped 22 points including a game-winning shot in his 2026 TBT debut to lift La Familia past The Ville in a thriller.
It was tied 57-57 after Montrezl Harrell knocked down a game-tying 3-pointer in the final moments of the fourth quarter, before Kentucky went on a 6-0 run to end the game and advance to the TBT quarterfinals for the second time in the last three seasons.
Kentucky is now just three wins away from winning the title and claiming the $2 million grand prize after eliminating in-state rival Louisville. The Wildcats host the Syracuse Orange with a berth in the TBT semifinals at stake at Memorial Coliseum on Sunday.
