They came to Kentucky together as freshmen and Blair Green says her and Rhyne Howard have been “best friends since stepping on campus.” Now the two are set to start their senior basketball seasons.

“We are really close. We live together. We both know each other well,” Green said.

Green is a Kentuckian from Harlan County. Howard came to UK from Cleveland, Tenn. Howard is an All-American and considered one of the best, if not the best, players in women’s college basketball. Green has been more of a role player at UK. However, they connect on and off the court.

“We have a lot of fun. It’s nice to have her to talk to even if we are not talking about basketball. We talk a lot about life,” Green said. “It has been fun to watch her grow and communicate more with the team. She has taken some big strides and wants to do great things this season.

“She has not only matured mentally but also physically. I am excited to be by her side and it has just been awesome seeing her grow like she has.”

Green says Howard is also very different off the court than what fans or even media members might think.

“Rhyne is a big goofball. She is always joking with me,” Green said. “We are both bubbly and outgoing together. She can be a little quiet sometimes. I am always more loud and outgoing. She is quiet and kind of sneaky but I love her.”
