LEXINGTON — Kentucky basketball will host a pair of high-profile exhibitions at Rupp Arena before coach Mark Pope's second season officially tips off.
UK announced Wednesday it will welcome Georgetown to Lexington for a preseason exhibition Oct. 30. That contest will be less than a week after another exhibition at Rupp: Big Ten power Purdue will square off with Kentucky on Oct. 24.
The Wildcats' 2025-26 slate still is being pieced together.
But a handful of games have been confirmed by UK, per the schedule on the team's official website.
