Photo day catches Cats on camera. See (some of) the results here.
The University of Kentucky men’s basketball team gathered Thursday for the Wildcats’ annual photo day inside Memorial Coliseum. Photographers Charles Bertram, Alex Slitz, Mark Mahan and Marcus Dorsey were on hand for the Herald-Leader, collecting pictures and video we’ll be displaying in the newspaper and on our Kentucky.com website in the lead-up to the 2018-19 season.
The Wildcats’ preseason preparations kick into high gear in the next few weeks with the team’s annual Pro Day on Oct. 7, Big Blue Madness on Oct. 12 and their Blue-White Game on Oct. 21. After exhibition games against Transylvania (Oct. 26) and Indiana-Pennsylvania (Nov. 2), Kentucky tips off the regular season against Duke at the Champions Classic in Indianapolis on Nov. 6.
