The broadcast team for the game features Bob Rathbun on play-by-play, Mike Brey as co-commentator and Jennifer Hale reporting from courtside. Rathbun is a long-established American basketball voice, best known for his extensive NBA and college-basketball work, while Brey brings the perspective of a former Notre Dame head coach and one of the most recognisable analysts in college hoops. Hale is one of the most established sideline reporters in US sports television, with a résumé spanning NFL, college football and basketball coverage. [10]
This matchup carries major stakes in TBT, because the winner becomes the Alumni Bracket champion and moves on in the chase for the tournament’s $2 million prize. Coverage from multiple outlets confirms that La Familia and JHX Hoops meet in Lexington at Historic Memorial Coliseum, with FS1 carrying the game nationally and FOX Sports also listing the event across its digital platforms.

For viewers in the US, the simplest route is FS1; FOX Sports also says the game is available through FOX One and the FOX Sports App, while other listings mention streaming options such as fubo. The scheduling is consistent across the major sources, although some local coverage gives the tip-off as 6 p.m. CT and others as 7 p.m. ET, which are the same moment in time. [4][7][9][10]
The game has extra appeal because it brings together two of college basketball’s most familiar alumni bases. La Familia represents Kentucky, while JHX Hoops are the Kansas alumni, and the winner not only claims bragging rights but also advances deeper into TBT’s unique winner-take-all format. JHX Hoops reached this stage after beating the defending champions, and La Familia arrived here after a strong run through the alumni bracket. [1][4][6]
FOX Sports’ continuing commitment to TBT has helped the tournament become a regular summer fixture for college-basketball fans, and the network’s schedule places the alumni final on FS1 with broader digital access on FOX platforms. For fans who want the background on the competition itself, the official tournament site provides bracket and schedule information for the 2026 event. [2][10][13]
For those looking to follow along with the people behind the mic, Rathbun, Brey and Hale bring a familiar, polished broadcast setup to one of the tournament’s biggest games. Their combination of experience should suit a high-pressure semifinal-style contest that decides which alumni programme gets one step closer to the championship game.
