Youth wins again: Wildcats outlast La Familia in annual summer scrimmage

The La Familia name carries weight in Lexington. But on this summer day in 2025, the future of Kentucky basketball made it clear: the new blood is here to take the torch.

According to Kentucky Sports Radio’s Matt Jones, the Wildcats edged out La Familia in a competitive exhibition game, winning by eight points. It marked the second straight year the current Cats have taken down a group of UK alums, and the message this time was simple—this isn’t just a young team, it’s a ready one.

Lowe and Oweh show out

Multiple sources relayed to Jones that Jaland Lowe and Otega Oweh were the standout players.
