Kentucky Basketball’s 2023-24 non-conference schedule is slowly leaking out. The Cats will host St. Joe’s at Rupp Arena on Monday, Nov. 20, according to St. Joe’s website. It will be the third meeting between the two schools, the first coming in 1939 and the second in the 1997 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. The Cats won both, the latter en route to an NCAA Tournament Runner-Up finish.
St. Joe’s finished the 2022-23 season 16-17, 8-10 in Atlantic 10 play. The Hawks are in their fourth season under head coach Billy Lange, who took over when Phil Martelli was fired in 2019 after 24 seasons.
