We are now less than a week away from the start of the college basketball regular season, but the Kentucky Wildcats have one more exhibition game to prepare themselves for one of the toughest schedules in the country.
This time against in-state school, Kentucky State. The Thorobreds (yes, that is how they spell it) are a Division II school located in Frankfort, KY.
The Thorobreds have played Kentucky in two preseason exhibitions in the Calipari era, most recently in 2019 (losing by 32) and in 2015 (losing by 53) before that.
Kentucky State is coached by alum Jamaal Jackson, who is in his seventh season as head coach.
