On Tuesday, the Kentucky Wildcats will play host to Evansville before getting a much-needed week off.
The Purple Aces are led by former Wildcats forward Walter McCarty, who is now in his second season as the head man following a nine-year stint as an NBA assistant. McCarty’s 1995-96 UK team actually faced Calipari’s UMass team twice that season, so this isn’t the first time they’ve faced off on the court.
Ahead of the game, UK head coach John Calipari met with the media to preview Tuesday’s matchup while also discussing some of the biggest topics in basketball.
