The Kentucky Wildcats went 9-3 this season and have a chance to pick up win No. 10 during the Citrus Bowl against Penn State.
It’s one of the best Kentucky football seasons ever, and during Saturday’s basketball game between Kentucky and Utah, the Wildcats were honored on the court.
As you can see below, several star players, including RB Benny Snell Jr. and LB Josh Allen, were given big ovations, along with coach Mark Stoops — the SEC’s Coach of the Year:

The Wildcats also made sure to bring the Governor’s Cup with them, which they won for beating Louisville on the gridiron a couple of weeks ago.
Allen and Snell will be off to the NFL after this season, but they’ve both changed the culture of Kentucky football and have been a lot of fun to watch.
