It’s clear who was getting the lion’s share of the attention ahead of Kentucky basketball’s Senior Night showdown with Vanderbilt.
It was also evident who would be getting the loudest eruption from the Rupp Arena faithful when the Senior Night ceremonies commenced before the Wildcats and Commodores played late Wednesday night in Lexington.
But the deserved praise that has, and will, come the way of fifth-years Tre Mitchell and Antonio Reeves shouldn’t take away from the two other elder statesmen on an otherwise youthful Kentucky basketball team.
Brennan Canada and Kareem Watkins have been every bit the “big brother” figures that Mitchell and Reeves have been, albeit with much less playing time.
And both Canada and Watkins were also able to say their Rupp Arena farewells on Wednesday night.
