Kentucky kicks off basketball season with the annual Big Blue Madness, and the "BBN Tonight" crew keeps you updated as the evening unfolds.
The Wildcats tipped off the 2025 season Saturday night with the program's annual tradition, as the men's and women's programs took over a sold-out Rupp Arena.
The day started in the Central Bank Center, with the first "BBN United Fan Fest," featuring Mark Pope, Kenny Brooks and members of both squads.
A quick recap of #BBN, @KentuckyMBB & @KentuckyWBB at Fan Fest today! We’ll have more from Big Blue Madness at 11 on @LEX18News
Throughout the afternoon, Coach Pope broke down game film for the crowd while Coach Brooks participated in a panel with Tubby Smith.
