LEXINGTON, Ky. (WYMT) – The University of Kentucky’s men’s basketball team was in Birmingham, Ala. on Tuesday for SEC Media Days.

The Cats are predicted to finish right in the middle of the pack at 8th place.

Since head coach Mark Pope’s first roster as a Wildcat does not have a single player from last season, he said the focus has been coming together as a team.

”We’re blessed to have a really veteran group that has a ton of experience, but no experience with each other,” Pope explained. “So, from the very, very first day we’ve been together, it has been a major piece of focus for our guys to understand us, understand each other, try to fit together, and communicate with each other. That has been the biggest part for us.”

The team will take the court for the Blue-White game at 6 p.m. on Friday.
