On Senior Night, senior Victoria Dunlap surprised the fans at Memorial Coliseum by singing the national anthem before Kentucky’s game against Arkansas. She did an amazing job and got a long standing ovation from the crowd. Amber Smith, who is technically a senior but will return next season after tearing up her knee last summer, was at center court for the singing of My Old Kentucky Home with her good friends Carly Morrow and Dunlap.

Awesome!!! Totally awesome. This team is so exciting to watch. Mathies and Dunlap have given Kentucky basketball fans something to cheer about. Terrific people, excellent ball players. So bad we have to let them go. And Vic, you brought tears to my eyes and as a military veteran, thank you.
