Today marked the official release of the Associated Press preseason Top 25, and that means one thing, it’s almost basketball time again in the Bluegrass. After a fall defined by football frustrations, Big Blue Nation finally has something to rally around. Mark Pope’s second Kentucky team has earned a spot among the nation’s elite, checking in at No. 9 in the country.
It’s a well-earned position for a roster that blends talent, experience, and hunger, three ingredients Kentucky fans have been craving for years. The Wildcats will make their full scrimmage debut this Friday night in the Blue-White Scrimmage at Memorial Coliseum after a five minute scrimmage at Big Blue Madness.
