It’s finally here: the finale of the BBN United Tipoff Classic, presented by Kentucky Tourism. KSR’s LIVE BLOG will bring you the sights and sounds from Rupp Arena as Kentucky hosts Eastern Michigan (7 p.m. ET, SEC Network+).
The loss to Louisville and the news about Jaland Lowe’s shoulder have cast a shadow over the BBN this week. A win over Eastern Illinois, which is 1-2 so far this season, probably won’t do much to ease concerns moving forward, but it should put a smile on our faces. It’s also a good opportunity for the Cats to bounce back from Tuesday’s loss, tinker with some new lineups, and get right before next week’s game vs Michigan State in the Champions Classic.
