As mentioned earlier on the site, the basketball team came back out of the locker room to meet with over 100 Special Olympic athletes and their family members following the big win.
The hugs, smiles, and laughs were absolutely priceless.
And theeeeeeen, our athletes got to spend some time with the @KentuckyMBB team after the game! Thank you @JonnyDavid and the @UKAthletics Student-Athlete Advisory Council for setting this up! pic.twitter.com/0OLtXmTaxZ

After the postgame event, Kentucky shooting guard Jemarl Baker said off-court things like the one he got to participate in tonight are part of the reason he decided to make the cross-country trip to Lexington.
