Despite a slow start to the Kentucky men’s basketball season, Rupp Arena will still be rocking for the Wildcats’ first game against the Indiana Hoosiers in nearly a decade.

But head coach Mark Pope wants to make sure the historically great Kentucky volleyball team has a full crowd, too.

Here’s the situation: Kentucky volleyball is playing in the Elite Eight on Saturday in Memorial Coliseum. The 1-seeded Wildcats will face 3-seeded Creighton with a spot in the Final Four on the line. The match is set to begin at 5:00 p.m. ET. Later in the night, a little over a mile down the road, Kentucky men’s basketball is hosting Indiana at Rupp.
