In basketball, if Louisville and Kentucky are on the court, drama will likely ensue. That held true Monday night, when a game at The Basketball Tournament between La Familia, a team comprised of former Kentucky players, and The Ville, a team featuring former Louisville players, ended with a near-brawl following a spitting incident. Andrew Harrison, who helped lead Kentucky to the 2014 and 2015 Final Four, hit the game-winning 3-pointer in La Familia's 70-61 victory (Elam ending) at Freedom Hall in Louisville. The crowd of 13,506 nearly doubled the previous record (7,202) for the winner-take-all $1 million tournament. During the celebration, La Familia's Nate Sestina, who led all scorers with 22 points, embraced The Ville's Chinanu Onuaku, who told Sestina to stop using the "L's down" gesture to mock Louisville. Onuaku, per video of the incident, told Sestina, "Don't do that again," before he spat in his face.
