The Big Blue Nation always turns out to support the Cats, and today a dedicated group braved the elements and countless renditions of On, On, U of K to take in 10+ hours of UK athletics. The day began with a noon tip at Memorial for UK Hoops, followed by a 4:00 p.m. tip at Rupp for men’s basketball and ending with a volleyball match back at Memorial beginning at 8 p.m. that stretched to a fifth set.
196 Big Blue faithful made it to the finish line to collect their t-shirts and wait for the Grand Champion to be announced.
