During the Kentucky men’s basketball annual Blue-White Game, a series of minor injuries meant the preseason scrimmage would be without some of the program’s typical star power. Reigning National Player of the Year Oscar Tshiebwe, the SEC’s top assist generator Sahvir Wheeler, and veteran big man Lance Ware were all sidelined for the event, which took place in Pikeville, KY this year for the first time ever.
These absences created some interesting lineups for the five-on-five scrimmage. The White Team came out on top with the 70-67 win over the Blue Team, but just looking at the rosters, the contest was much closer than it appeared it would have been on paper.
