With NBA scouts watching closely, Reeves is expected to make the leap to the next stage of his career. But before that, he will have one final chance to put on a show for the Wildcats faithful. Fans are expected to pack Rupp Arena for what promises to be an emotional send-off, complete with standing ovations and heartfelt tributes.
