The Kentucky Wildcats men’s and women’s basketball teams will be on full display tonight for the school’s annual Big Blue Madness.
Wildcat fans will get a first glimpse of one of the most exciting college basketball teams this year ahead of the 2025 season.
Both squads made the NCAA tournament a year ago with first-year head coaches. The men’s side went all the way to the Sweet Sixteen with Mark Pop, while the women’s team went to the second round of the tournament with Kenny Brooks at the helm.
The men’s team returned some of its key players and added some new faces. Otega Oweh and Brandon Garrison are back with newcomers like Denzel Aberdeen, Mouhamed Dioubate and Jayden Quaintance.
The women’s trio of Clara Strack, Teonni Key and Amelia Hassett is back and added a top freshman in Kaelyn Carroll.
