Twin Takeover Returns: Andrew and Aaron Harrison Reunite for La Familia in TBT — Fans Brace for Summer Basketball Fireworks
LEXINGTON, KY — A familiar and electrifying duo is set to make waves once again in The Basketball Tournament (TBT) this summer. Former University of Kentucky standouts Andrew and Aaron Harrison have officially committed to play for Team La Familia, reigniting excitement among Big Blue Nation and basketball fans across the country.
The announcement, confirmed by TBT organizers and the team’s official social media account, marks the second straight summer that the twin guards will don the La Familia jersey. Their return brings championship pedigree, professional experience, and unmatched chemistry to one of the tournament’s most talent-packed squads.
“We’re back,” Aaron Harrison said in a video posted on La Familia’s Instagram. “We’ve got unfinished business, and we’re coming to win it all.”
A Legacy Reunited
Andrew and Aaron Harrison first rose to national prominence as key members of the Kentucky Wildcats’ Final Four teams in 2014 and 2015, with their clutch performances and big-game heroics earning them lasting admiration from fans. Their chemistry on the court—honed since childhood—was a hallmark of John Calipari’s dominant squads.
After stints in the NBA and overseas leagues, both brothers have carved out successful pro careers and remained active in competitive basketball. Their return to TBT not only brings veteran leadership to La Familia but also draws massive fan interest, particularly from Kentucky faithful eager to see two of their favorites suit up together again.
“It means a lot to put on that jersey again and represent a program that helped us grow,” said Andrew Harrison. “La Familia feels like home.”
La Familia Reloaded
La Familia, a team primarily composed of former Kentucky players, has become one of TBT’s most watched and supported teams. With the Harrison twins joining a roster that could include fellow UK alums and other top-tier professionals, expectations are sky-high.
Team organizers hinted that this year’s roster could be the most competitive yet, with the Harrisons expected to play key roles both as starters and leaders.
“Andrew and Aaron bring an elite level of skill, intelligence, and poise under pressure,” said La Familia head coach Tony Delk. “They’ve been through the fire and know what it takes to win.”
What’s at Stake
TBT, a high-stakes, winner-take-all tournament with a $1 million prize, is known for its intensity and talent level. With former NBA players, overseas pros, and NCAA legends battling for the crown, the competition is fierce—and fan engagement is off the charts.
La Familia’s 2024 campaign ended earlier than expected, and the return of the Harrison twins signals a push not just for redemption, but for dominance.
“We’re not just here to play,” Aaron Harrison added. “We’re here to win. Period.”
Fan Reactions and Tournament Buzz
Within hours of the announcement, social media lit up with excitement. “Let’s gooooo! The twins are BACK!” one Kentucky fan posted on X (formerly Twitter). Others shared highlights of their game-winning shots and clutch moments from their time in Lexington.
TBT organizers welcomed the news with enthusiasm, noting the brothers’ presence boosts both the team and the tournament’s overall profile.
“When you bring in names like Andrew and Aaron Harrison, people pay attention,” said Jon Mugar, TBT’s founder and CEO. “They’re great for the game and great for the fans.”
Looking Ahead
With the summer tournament set to tip off in July, the basketball world will be watching to see if Andrew and Aaron can lead La Familia on a deep run. Regardless of the outcome, their reunion guarantees must-watch basketball—and a reminder of why the Harrison twins remain one of the most iconic duos in college basketball history.
