The Kentucky basketball team was desperate for a win, and so were the fans. Big Blue Nation filled up Rupp Arena for a primetime matchup against an old rival, Indiana, and it created an electric atmosphere.
During the second half, the Wildcats went on a 17-2 run. It brought the Rupp Arena crowd to its feet, and the Hoosiers could feel the heat.
“The crowd got cranked up,” head coach Darian DeVries said after the loss. “That’s the time where you really have to dig into your screens more and play with discipline.”
In between the action, Kentucky kept fans engaged with a few lively moments on the court.
