Basketball Preview: Tigers venture into Rupp looking to make a statement
Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsTonight’s Preview
Rupp Arena.
One of college basketball’s most historic and daunting venues to play at. Countless legendary players and coaches have graced that hardwood, and this 2023-24 Kentucky squad looks like another that could go down in the history books.
The Wildcats have gotten out to a strong start this season, having taken down Miami in dominant fashion and winning a shootout over North Carolina. UK nearly took down Kansas at the Champions Classic, and their only other defeat came in upset fashion at the hands of a strong UNC Wilmingon team. John Calipari has a team that is versatile, shares the ball well and is stingy on the defensive end.
