The Kentucky Wildcats men’s and women’s basketball teams take center stage for the school’s Blue-White Games.

The women will have a scrimmage first tonight, followed by a brief intermission before the men’s team plays.

Both programs reached the NCAA tournament in the 2024 season under first-year head coaches. The men advanced to the Sweet Sixteen behind Mark Pope, while the women made it to the second round with Kenny Brooks leading the way.

The men bring back several key contributors — including Otega Oweh and Brandon Garrison — and welcome newcomers such as Denzel Aberdeen, Mouhamed Dioubate, and Jayden Quaintance.

On the women’s side, the returning core of Clara Strack, Teonni Key, and Amelia Hassett is joined by highly touted freshman Kaelyn Carroll.
