Who Kentucky fans should watch during Friday's Peach Jam action

Today is the final day of pool play at the 2023 Nike Peach Jam Tournament. Starting on Saturday and continuing throughout the rest of the weekend, championship action will take over the Riverview Park Activities Center in North Augusta, SC. But before we get there, Friday is loaded with premier matchups that Kentucky fans will want to pay attention to.

Several of the Wildcats’ top targets will hit the hardwood throughout the day as head coach John Calipari and other staff members roam the sidelines to get a first-row look. He’s been joined by assistants Chin Coleman and Orlando Antigua (new assistant Chuck Martin is holding it down in Rock Hill, SC for the Adidas 3SSB circuit) so far this week — expect the coaching trio back for more today.

So who will the Kentucky staff keep their eyes on? Let’s break down today’s schedule and find out. A handful of games will be livestreamed on the NBA App, which is free to download here. You can also watch it in a web browser. If you want to go a little deeper, every Peach Jam game is available to stream on the Nike EYBL website and Twitch.
