Prepare for one of the toughest non-conference slates in college volleyball—Kentucky is going full throttle. In a move that is rarely seen in any sport, Kentucky has scheduled some massive matchups before the SEC even starts. This isn't new either, head coach Craig Skinner always schedules tough teams to challenge his own.
The Wildcats launch their season August 31 in Nashville against Lipscomb. But the real fireworks begin Sunday at noon on ABC, when Kentucky faces Nebraska in the Broadway Block Party at Bridgestone Arena. That’s a Final Four showdown in primetime—even before conference kicks off.
