Big Blue Madness highlights: Standout moments and competition winners
By Mark Knight
The most surprising part of the men's program competition is that all three contests were decided by three freshmen. The champions of each were the two highest-rated recruits in Kentucky's class of 2024.
It was Collin Chandler who ultimately won the contest by showing his hops by clearing his coach and coach's wife for his final dunk, impressing the judges, and getting high marks to win.

The three-point display was electric and all the players that competed put on an impressive display of making shots from deep.
Round 1:
Travis Perry - 25 points
Jaxson Robinson - 21 points
Trent Noah - 22 points
Ansley Almonor - 18 points
Kerr Kriisa - 18 points
Koby Brea - 21 points
This moved Travis Perry and Trent Noah onto the final round and gave them the opportunity to win the three-point competition. Perry would ultimately win it with 27 points in the final round.
Kentuckians Travis Perry and Trent Noah finish No. 1 and No. 2 in the Madness three-point contest. Another feel-good moment on a very fun night.
