Wildcats Return to Lexington

The UK players are back in Wildcat territory, with fans welcoming them home as they arrived at Blue Grass Airport.

The team’s plane touched down shortly before 2pm Tuesday, as the Cats returned from their heartbreaking defeat in Monday’s 60-54 championship fight against the UConn Huskies.

Three buses awaited the group to take them to Rupp Arena, where a celebration of the Cats’ season is being held.
