To say it was an eventful early season for Kentucky men’s and women’s basketball at the University of Kentucky would be a slight understatement.
The unofficial opening of the season took place on Friday night with Big Blue Madness from the historic Memorial Coliseum with both squads participating in the tradition.
Even though it was different in that Madness was moved from Rupp Arena and it had no public attendance, it was still blue and white, glitz and glam, ESPN coverage, and all the bells and whistles we have come to associate with Kentucky basketball.
With COVID-19 raging and a lot of sad and tough news in the last couple of days, Madness at least for a little while gave the Commonwealth and fans across the nation a small respite.
