Hoping to continue its run of recent strong play, the Kentucky Wildcats make a holiday trek to the Big Apple to participate in the Citi Hoops Holiday Classic on Saturday afternoon at legendary Madison Square Garden.
Their opponent in the Garden will be the Seton Hall Pirates. The contest is scheduled to tip at noon and will be carried by Fox.
The #9 Wildcats (7-1) come into the match up on a six game winning streak following their season opening loss to Duke in the Champions Classic. Last Saturday, UK defeated UNC-Greensboro 78-61 in Rupp Arena behind a strong second half defensive effort led by guard Ashton Hagans on UNCG’s leading scorer Francis Alonzo.
