Kentucky Wildcats players have recently taken to social media to express their heartfelt gratitude towards Big Blue Nation (BBN), the university’s passionate fanbase. Following the conclusion of the season, these messages underscore the deep bond between the athletes and their supporters.
Guard Kerr Kriisa, who has entered the transfer portal after a season-ending foot injury, shared his appreciation:
> “To BBN—your unending support of me and my team has been amazing. Playing at Rupp Arena in front of huge crowds has been a dream come true.”
Similarly, during the season, players like Ansley Almonor and Kriisa were moved by the fans’ dedication. After a game against Georgia State, Almonor remarked:
> “To see BBN show out like this, the day after Thanksgiving… just shows us how much they really love us. Made us want to go out there and fight for them.”
Kriisa echoed this sentiment, noting the rarity of such unwavering support:
> “We’re playing a mid-major team on Thanksgiving weekend at night, and this place is sold out. This doesn’t happen anywhere.”
These expressions of gratitude highlight the unique and enduring relationship between Kentucky Wildcats players and their devoted fans.
