Kentucky vs. Kentucky Wesleyan: How to watch and follow with no TV coverage
The Kentucky Wildcats are about to tip off a new era of men’s basketball, as the Cats will welcome the Kentucky Wesleyan Panthers to Rupp Arena for their first exhibition of the season.
With Mark Pope now leading the charge, the fanbase is very excited heading into the first few games of this season, as the BBN will officially get a taste of what the fast-paced offense is going to look like under the new regime.
Add in the excellent shooting, and the Cats should bring a fast-paced, potentially high-scoring offense to the court this year.
However, their first matchup with KWC should be a decent test. The Panthers had a great season in 2023-24, finishing 21-9 and 15-5 in conference play. That included an exhibition win at Louisville. The Panthers landed a 2-seed in the NCAA Division II tournament but got upset in the first round.
The Panthers will bring an experienced squad full of upperclassmen to Lexington, so the Cats must be prepared for a veteran-heavy squad,
Alongside a new-look offense, Kentucky will look to bolster a new style of defense under Coach Pope as well. With some big-time matchups coming up in the next few weeks, the hope is this team will start to build some chemistry on that end of the court as well.
Overall, it should be an exciting night as the new-look Cats take the floor. With a whole new roster and coaching staff, the fanbase will have a lot to learn heading into the regular season.
That starts with the exhibition game on Wednesday.
This first game will be streaming only and will be featured on the SEC Network+. So get the TVs and computers ready, folks, as each exhibition game will be featured through the streaming service.

Northern Kentucky claims 4 titles at Class 3A indoor track state meet
The Kentucky High School Athletic Association indoor state track meet rolled on on Wednesday, March 4. One day after Beechwood claimed the Class 1A boys team title, three Northern Kentucky big schools combined for four individual state titles in Class 3A.
Cooper’s Paul Van Laningham won the 3,200-meter run in 9:09.49 and took second place in the 1,600-meter run in 4:07.88. It was a reversal of his results at the 2025 indoor state meet and earned him his fifth overall state title. He scored all of Cooper’s points, good for ninth place in the team standings with 18 points.
Van Laningham’s teammate, Ava Dunn, got the day started with a shot put title, throwing the 8.82-pound ball 39 feet, 3.25 inches.
Simon Kenton’s Alexis Howard won the long jump with an attempt of 18 feet, 7.25 inches, then claimed the triple jump title with a distance of 37 feet, 4.25 inches. It is her second straight indoor long jump title and third overall as she also claimed the 2024 outdoor title. Taking fifth place in the 55-meter dash, she scored all 24 points for SK, finishing in a tie for eighth place. Cooper was right behind with 22 points.
Finally, Conner’s Avery Vanlandingham win the 800-meter run in 2:17.55, out-leaning North Oldham’s Millie Huang at the line.

Hardley Gilmore returns to Kentucky Football
A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.
After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.
When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.
With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.
