The sound of leather touching nylon on a rainbow 3-pointer never rang sweeter for Carmen's Crew than on Friday night.

Jamel Morris came off a screen, set up a good five feet behind the arc from the top of the key and nailed a 3-pointer to send Carmen's Crew to the Championship Game of The Basketball Tournament with a 76-70 win over La Familia, Kentucky's alumni team.

Jared Sullinger led the way for the team he led the charge in putting together, scoring 16 points and pulling in seven rebounds. Desonta Bradford was his top partner in crime with 15 points.
