Tuesday’s game vs. Southern is about a lot more than just basketball. The game marks the beginning of the Unity Series, a five-year agreement between Kentucky and members of the Southwestern Athletic Conference to raise awareness of the missions of historically black colleges and universities and to raise funds to provide opportunities for students at their institutions.
The days leading up to the game will feature several events aimed at educating students and providing networking opportunities and community engagement. To tip things off, Kentucky and Southern will make a joint trip to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Museum in Cincinnati.
