The Kentucky Wildcats are the preseason No. 1 team in nearly every major college basketball preseason poll, and their first open scrimmage was held tonight at Rupp Arena in front of a crowd of over 15,000 passionate basketball fans as they eagerly awaited to their newest team that will feature a number of future NBA players in Marcus Lee, Julius Randle, James Young, and Andrew and Aaron Harrison.

Andrew is the team’s starting point guard and likely a top-5 NBA Draft pick next year, and some already regard him as the best point guard in america before he plays in a college game. The No. 1 point guard in the Class of 2013 will be leading what will no doubt be one of the most talented teams in all of college basketball, but in the team’s annual Blue 0 White game tonight, an intra-squad scrimmage played at a fairly competitive pace, Andrew what injured and left the game with what’s being called a knee contusion:

Official word on Andrew Harrison is a right knee contusion. He is out for the rest of the game.
