When Kentucky travels down to Baton Rouge for Tuesday’s ranked matchup against the No. 21 LSU Tigers, it’ll be another spectacle of an event for the Wildcats.
You see, the last time Kentucky hit the road, it didn’t exactly end well. Notre Dame made an early December, non-conference outing feel like a Final Four affair. The Fighting Irish inducted all-time great LaPhonso Ellis into the Ring of Honor before introducing new head football coach Marcus Freeman during halftime. The Joyce Center only holds a little over 9,000 fans, but it felt like a fully packed football stadium by tipoff.
