Kentucky Leads In First Day Of Big Blue Slam

Solid Blue fans go up against Florida in the annual contest help build the local blood supply.

Organizers said Kentucky led by two, 309- 307.

“It just doesn’t get much closer than this,” said Martha Osborne, Kentucky Blood Center’s Executive Director of Marketing and Recruitment. “We had a good first day, but so did Florida. We hope to see many more Kentucky fans bleeding blue the rest of the week because we want to see Kentucky win on and off the court.”

Solid Blue fans who give blood will receive a limited-edition Slam T-shirt and a chance to win a pair of tickets to the second and third rounds of the 2015 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament in Louisville.

Donors will also have the chance to give blood in Rupp Arena on Wednesday from noon to 7 p.m.
