After 263 long days, Kentucky basketball season is officially back, as the Wildcats are set to take the floor against Morehead State at 6 p.m. ET on the SEC Network.
With nine brand new scholarship players and only two players returning from the 2019-20 roster, there’s a lot to learn about this team for all of us, especially this week. UK head coach John Calipari announced Monday that sophomore forward Keion Brooks Jr. would miss the first week of the season as he works to return from a leg injury that has limited him to individual workouts since October, meaning Dontaie Allen – who missed the entirety of last season with a torn ACL – is the only familiar face available to open the season.
