LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Calipari and Kentucky's men's basketball made good on their promise to Michael McGuire on Friday. Last month, a photo of McGuire, a coal miner and Wildcat fan, went viral after he attended the team's Blue-White scrimmage in Pikeville.
Fresh out of the mine and covered in coal soot, McGuire took his family to the scrimmage. After a photo of McGuire was posted to Instagram, Calipari reached out and assured McGuire and his family would attend a game at Rupp Arena this season.
That came Friday, when Kentucky hosted Duquesne at Rupp Arena.
