The University of Kentucky men’s basketball team concluded its preparations for the 2018-19 season by playing an exhibition game against Indiana University of Pennsylvania in Rupp Arena on Friday night. Kentucky defeated its foe from NCAA Division II, 86-64.
Next up for the second-ranked Wildcats is their season-opening game against No. 4 Duke at the Champions Classic in Indianapolis on Tuesday night. The game is scheduled for a 9:30 p.m. start but will probably tip off a little later than that. Kentucky-Duke is the second game of a doubleheader at Bankers Life Fieldhouse that starts with Michigan State facing Kansas at 7 p.
