The 2025 Big Blue Madness lit up Rupp Arena with about 20,000 blue-clad fans celebrating both men’s and women’s basketball in a high-energy exhibition event. Alumni including John Wall, Tubby Smith, and others made surprise appearances and added nostalgia to the night. Spectacular contests—from three-point shootouts to dunk battles—and a showcase of team skills kept the crowd roaring. Big Blue Madness remains a signature Kentucky basketball tradition uniting fans, legends, and rising stars in a night of hoops culture and community.
