It’s Football Time In The Bluegrass™ with the Tennessee Vols coming to Lexington this coming weekend, but let’s not forget Kentucky Basketball begins its season three days later. Believe it or not, we are under one week out from the Champions Classic where tenth-ranked Kentucky will open the new year against ninth-ranked Duke in Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, November 9. Tip-off is set for right around the time you would normally be going to sleep on a weeknight.
Big Blue Nation already got a first look at the new Kentucky via last Friday’s exhibition game against Kentucky Wesleyan, and the Wildcats will get one more exhibition in this coming Friday before flying to New York for the opener.
