The 2022-23 Kentucky Basketball season started last week, but if you’re like me, it didn’t really feel real until this morning. Tonight, the No. 4 Wildcats (2-0) take on the Michigan State Spartans (1-1) in the Champions Classic in Indianapolis. It will mark Kentucky’s first trip back to Gainbridge Fieldhouse since the loss to Saint Peter’s in the first round of the NCAA Tournament eight months ago. I think most have turned the page from that fateful day, but a big win tonight would go a long way toward exorcising the demons.
The Cats vs. the Spartans is the first game of the doubleheader, tipping off at 7 p.
