The moment you’ve been waiting for is almost here. After eight long days away, Kentucky basketball finally returns to action at Rupp Arena. UK tips-off against the Southern Jaguars in the inaugural Unity Series at 7 pm ET on the SEC Network.
Tonight’s game between the Wildcats and the Jaguars is the first of a five-year series between Kentucky and members of the all-HBCU Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). The games will seek to raise awareness of the missions of the HBCUs and to raise funds to provide opportunities for students at their institutions.
The first opponent in the series is a familiar one.
