Kentucky Basketball unlikely to go on a summer tour this year, per Mark Pope


On Tuesday, head coach Mark Pope revealed that there will likely be no summer trip for the 2026-27 Wildcats.

“We’re probably a lean towards not going right now,” Pope told Darrell Bird of Cats Pause.

The NCAA recently adopted a proposal that will allow schools to take summer tours every year after the rules previously limited schools to one trip every four years. Even if it ended up being somewhere close by, this would’ve been a great experience for the Cats to get some exhibition games in, especially with the roster overhaul they’re going through.

Oh well. The good news is UK will still have plenty of summer practices to develop and build chemistry.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Kentucky Horse Park is honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to their country this Memorial Day, while also reflecting on the legacy of one of the military’s most remarkable heroes — a horse.

Sergeant Reckless, a mare who served with the U.S. Marines during the Korean War, carried ammunition into battle and brought wounded soldiers to safety, becoming a trusted and beloved companion to those who served alongside her, Kentucky Horse Park described.

In recognition of her extraordinary courage, Sgt. Reckless was promoted to Staff Sergeant and awarded two Purple Hearts, along with numerous other military honors.

“Today, we remember and honor every hero,” a post from the park read.
