As the Kentucky Wildcats prepare to take on LSU Tuesday night at Rupp Arena, it’s also time for a special tradition—Senior Night. This game will serve as the final home contest for several Wildcats, as they take part in the pregame ceremony to celebrate their collegiate careers.

While there’s no official word yet on whether Kerr Kriisa will participate in the festivities, or seek a medical redshirt, Kentucky fans can expect to see the following seniors honored:

Seniors Expected to Walk on Senior Night

  • Lamont Butler (G, 26.2 MPG, 12.4 PPG, 4.5 APG, 1.7 SPG) – A defensive standout and steady playmaker, Butler has been an impact player for the Wildcats all season despite multiple injuries. His leadership on both ends of the floor will be tough to replace.
  • Jaxson Robinson (G, 28.0 MPG, 13.0 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 1.7 APG) – One of Kentucky’s most consistent scoring threats, before a shoulder injury robbed him of his remaining eligibility; Robinson provided a reliable outside shot and veteran presence.
  • Koby Brea (G, 26.6 MPG, 11.2 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 1.2 APG) – A sharpshooter from deep, Brea has given Kentucky a major boost with his efficiency and ability to stretch the floor.
  • Andrew Carr (F, 23.3 MPG, 10.1 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 1.8 APG) – A versatile forward who contributes on both ends, Carr’s rebounding and defense have been key in Kentucky’s frontcourt while battling back issues.
  • Ansley Almonor (F, 15.1 MPG, 5.7 PPG, 1.7 RPG) – Though he plays a more limited role, Almonor has provided depth and floor spacing as a stretch forward and just a joy to watch.
  • Amari Williams (C, 22.3 MPG, 11.0 PPG, 8.8 RPG, 3.1 APG, 1.3 BPG) – A dominant presence in the paint, Williams has been a force on the glass and a strong defensive anchor for the Wildcats.

What About Kerr Kriisa?

Kriisa’s status for Senior Night remains uncertain, though he has been a valuable contributor this season even after the injury. Averaging 4.4 points and 3.8 assists per game, he has brought veteran leadership and playmaking to Kentucky’s backcourt. When asked by a fan earlier this season against Vanderbilit if he would come back, he said he was just trying to play. There have been conflicting reports since then on what his path forward looks like.

With Kentucky looking to build momentum heading into the postseason, Senior Night will be a special moment for these Wildcats and their families. Expect an emotional pregame ceremony as the seniors take center stage one last time at Rupp Arena.
