The 2023-24 basketball season is set to begin on Monday for the Kentucky Wildcats when they host the New Mexico State Aggies.
After the past three seasons have not gone as well for the Cats, they’re hoping to get back to winning at the highest level. They finished last season with a Round of 32 loss to Kansas State. With a brand-new team loaded with talented freshmen, John Calipari is hoping to get back to his old ways.
With eight freshmen on the roster, Kentucky does have some returning players in Adou Thiero, Antonio Reeves, and Ugonna Onyenso when he is back fully healthy, along with Tre Mitchell, who has a lot of experience after transferring from West Virginia to Kentucky.
