It’s been 17 years since the Kentucky Wesleyan Panthers traveled to Rupp Arena to take on the Kentucky Wildcats. 2004 was the year, with the two sides meeting up for an exhibition game on November 9. UK came away victorious, beating KWC by a final score of 79-54.
This time around, the Panthers hope to put up its best fight in a matchup of two historic programs within their respective divisions. Kentucky has won eight national titles, but Kentucky Wesleyan has won eight titles itself at the Division II level, as well.
