Another important game awaits Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats this weekend.
The Indiana Hoosiers come to Rupp Arena on Saturday night (7:30 p.m. ET | ESPN) in a game that will be about as close to a must-win as possible for UK. It’s been nearly a decade since these two former rivals went head-to-head, but there is extra juice to this matchup that goes beyond the historical aspect. Indiana’s leading scorer, Lamar Wilkerson, picked the Hoosiers over Kentucky in the offseason. He dropped 44 points earlier this week against Penn State.
