LEXINGTON, Ky. -- No. 8 Kentucky, according to coach John Calipari, will get its most severe test of the season on Saturday when Virginia Tech visits Rupp Arena.

"Hard game for us to win, really hard," Calipari said Friday. "This team is a tough, grind it, fly up and down, shoot 3s, get to the rim, come at you, try to be the aggressor team. After this game, we'll see where we are."

Virginia Tech (9-1) leads the nation in scoring at 96.2 points per game, margin of victory (25.5) and ranks No. 4 in assists with 19.
