The University of Kentucky men’s basketball team showcased its promising young talent in a recent exhibition scrimmage against La Familia, a team comprised of former Wildcats. According to reports, the Cats emerged victorious, winning by eight points.
Jaland Lowe and Otega Oweh stole the show with their impressive performances. Lowe, a transfer from Pitt, demonstrated his playmaking abilities, while Oweh showcased his size and physicality on defense. La Familia’s veterans, including Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, and Archie Goodwin, proved they still have the competitive fire and skills that made them stand out during their playing days.
The Wildcats’ young team didn’t appear lost, showcasing their strength and physicality in the backcourt. Lowe and Oweh’s performances suggest they’re potential leaders for the team. The scrimmage indicated that the culture is back in the gym, and the team is competing at a high level.
While a summer exhibition doesn’t reveal the entire story, it provides a glimpse into the team’s potential. The 2025-26 Wildcats seem to be more than just reloading; they’re competing, and the Big Blue might be back in the national spotlight soon.
