The first of two exhibition games to prepare for the start of the regular season for the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team is tonight, as the Wildcats take on Transylvania.
Separated by half a mile, the Wildcats will take on the Pioneers for the fourth time as an exhibition matchup under John Calipari with the other three matchups occurring in 2011, 2012, and 2013.
Kentucky will have tonight’s game and another exhibition next Friday before kicking off the regular season against Duke on Tuesday, Nov. 6 in the Champions Classic.
There are several Kentuckians that play on coach Brian Lane’s Transylvania squad, which makes for a neat opportunity to go up against the Wildcats in tonight’s game.
