Kentucky men’s basketball crowned 2023 GLOBL JAM gold medalists in Toronto

Kentucky men’s basketball was crowned 2023 GLOBL JAM gold medalists in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Sunday, defeating the Canadian National Team in the championship.

The Wildcats, representing the United States as a whole, started off the tournament against the German National Team.

Kentucky utilized its 2023-24 roster including five-star freshmen such as DJ Wagner and Robert Dillingham, though five-star center Aaron Bradshaw missed the event with an injury.

Things seemed to get worse for the Cats when returning big man Ugonna Onyenso seemingly went down with an injury in practice, putting UK’s chances in further jeopardy.
