Takeaways from Kentucky basketball’s Big Blue Madness

Another Big Blue Madness has come and gone, and goodness, was this a fun one.

The player introductions were exciting, as always, and Boogie Cousins was back in Lexington to introduce Coach Calipari.

We saw Antonio Reeves win the three-point shooting contest and freshman Joey Hart win the dunk contest.

It was a fun night, but what can we take away from Kentucky’s 2023 Big Blue Madness?

You could tell from the little things that were going on during the three-point shooting and dunk contests how tight this team is this season. It seems like Coach Calipari has this group ready to play together. Even Big Z, who just got to Lexington yesterday, already seems close with the guys. Something feels really special about this 2023-24 Kentucky basketball team.
