Several University of Kentucky basketball players were seated on the floor of the Picadome Elementary gym Friday afternoon.
They were joined by students at the school, and all were listening as UK director of basketball administration Will Barton announced to the crowd of kids and teachers that a game of duck-duck-goose would start off the day’s festivities.
The students looked on eagerly. The Wildcats looked confused.
They didn’t know the rules.
After a brief explanation, a young girl started off the game by tagging UK freshman Kevin Knox, who jumped up and frantically chased her around the circle.
