Two BBN United Tipoff Classic presented by Kentucky Tourism games in a week? What did we ever do to deserve such a thing? The basketball gods have gifted us with another can’t-miss matchup coming to Rupp Arena, this time against the Beacons of Valparaiso. It’s game two of not only the prestigious annual event, but game two of the season outright, Mark Pope and the Wildcats looking to start 2-0 before traveling down I-64W to take on the Dirty Birds at the Yum! Center early next week.
What do you need to know about the Beacons? They’re coached by third-year coach Roger Powell Jr.
