When Kentucky Basketball travels to Columbia to open up Southeastern Conference play on Wednesday, the Wildcats will be challenged with playing in front of a packed crowd at Mizzou Arena. In fact, the game is completely sold out as of Christmas Eve, marking the first time Missouri Basketball sold out back-to-back games since the 2017-18 season.
The excitement is, of course, because Mizzou just beat its 16th-ranked rival by 22 points (the largest win over a ranked opponent in over a decade) before the Tigers take their turn at hosting “everyone’s Super Bowl” in the first game of league play.
