UK Sports Network to Broadcast Blue-White Preseason Event
For the first time, the men’s and women’s basketball preseason events will be held together, showcasing both teams in a unique collaborative event. The UK Sports Network will provide live coverage of the reimagined Blue-White Preseason Event, set to offer fans an early glimpse at the upcoming basketball season.
The live stream, featuring interviews and analysis, will be hosted by Michelle Knezovic and Andrew Kappes. They will be joined by players, coaches, and special guests to discuss the latest happenings and provide in-depth coverage of the event. Broadcasts for the event will commence at 6 PM ET.
Radio listeners can tune in for live court coverage provided by Darren Headrick, Bria Goss, and Jack Givens. This comprehensive coverage aims to engage fans with a range of insights, interviews, and play-by-play updates throughout the event.
The Blue-White Preseason Event is a major fundraiser for Club Blue, which supports the UK student-athlete community by enhancing NIL opportunities. Proceeds from the event will assist in funding and connecting fans with student-athletes in innovative ways. These efforts are crucial for maintaining competitive sports programs at the University of Kentucky.
The event will take place at the Historic Memorial Coliseum, which has recently undergone an $85 million renovation. The upgrades are expected to provide fans with an enhanced experience and create a special atmosphere for the teams playing in one of Kentucky basketball’s historic venues.
