Tuesday night in New York City will be a unique experience for several Kentucky men’s basketball players. Most of this season’s Wildcats have yet to suit up and play on the hardwood at Madison Square Garden as college athletes, but that will change soon enough when Kentucky clashes with No. 17 Michigan State in the annual Champions Classic (6:30 p.m. ET | ESPN).
For someone like junior forward Mo Dioubate, who hails from Queens, NY, he said he’s already having trouble making sure all his friends and family have tickets for the game. He’s hoping some teammates will be able to offer him some of their extra stubs.
