LEXINGTON – Often during the John Calipari era it has felt like Kentucky basketball’s senior night festivities are burying the lead.
With so few scholarship players sticking around for four years, senior night generally is a time to recognize little-used walk-ons. In recent years, graduate transfers who spent just one year in the program, have been added to the festivities. By that standard, the ceremony before Kentucky’s 83-72 senior night win over Ole Miss Tuesday was actually noteworthy because it included one two-year player (Davion Mintz) alongside the normal graduate transfer (Kellan Grady).
