Making Memories

Everyone knows that after this season, more players other than these three will depart from the program. It is expected, it is encouraged and it is what’s best for them and their families. But to be apart of something like Kentucky Basketball long enough to experience the things these young men have, its really special.

Kentucky will hope to send these players off in style in their final appearance at Rupp Arena. The Vanderbilt Commodores come into the historical venue to face a Kentucky team with hopes of making a statement to improve their NCAA Tournament Seeding. The Wildcats will look to answer the bell as they enter the post-season. A post-season in which the three Seniors will have to contribute in order for Kentucky to bring home Number Nine.
