Best social media reactions to Kentucky win over Little Rock

The 2026-27 Kentucky basketball team made their debut on Friday night in an exhibition game against the Little Rock Trojans, and walked out with a 69-49 victory. It wasn’t always pretty, but they had some highlight moments, and started Mark Pope’s third season off with a win.

Offensively, the Wildcats looked a bit rusty. In the first half, the shots just weren’t falling, and they made a lot of mistakes. They also struggled with Little Rock’s full-court press throughout the game. They played much better in the second half, but ended up with 19 turnovers and shot just 43.9% from the field. They did make 12 three-pointers.
