The Kentucky men’s basketball season is over. Top links from the Next Cats blog.
The 2022-23 Kentucky men’s basketball season ended over the weekend with a second round NCAA Tournament loss to Kansas State in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Now, a high-pressure offseason will begin in Lexington for head coach John Calipari.
From the upcoming arrival of five new freshmen to Lexington, to Kentucky’s continued pursuit of players in the class of 2024 and beyond — as well as figuring out which players from this season’s team will return to the Cats — there will be plenty to monitor with Kentucky basketball in the coming weeks and months.
Here’s what you need to know at the start.
