The Kentucky men's basketball team gave back to the community today, heading to Lexington's Picadome Elementary School as part of a day of fun. There, the team distributed packed lunches, played duck-duck-goose, participated in relay races, and put on a show for the young fans. Afterward, Keldon Johnson and Tyler Herro stuck around to answer some questions about their day of play, where they each said they had just as much fun as the kids did. KSR was there to get some footage, featuring several impressive dunks, shots, and contagious laughs.

Here are some pictures taken by UK Athletics at their stop at Picadome: Johnson and Herro weren't lying, the Wildcats had just as much fun as the kids did.
