Kentucky basketball is back. The 2021-22 season unofficially tips off Friday night when John Calipari’s Wildcats take the hardwood at Rupp Arena for the Blue-White Game. The intrasquad scrimmage begins at 7 pm ET and can be seen on the SEC Network. You can also hear Tom Leach and Mike Pratt call the scrimmage on the UK Sports Network.
Unlike Big Blue Madness, this is not just a show for fans. Players will be going toe-to-toe, competing in live action to prove they belong in the rotation.
“When there’s popcorn popping and there’s people in the seats, guys seem to play different,” Coach Cal said at UK basketball media day.
