Senior Day

Senior Day at Kentucky has become one of the most recognizable ceremonies in sport.  Honoring its senior class, the occasion is one of the most elaborate and moving programs of its kind.  The pregame ceremony begins with player introductions.  Once they have all burst through banners bearing their likeness, their families join them at center court.  Then the state song, My Old Kentucky Home, is sung as the crowd bids farewell to their seniors.
