A two day break from Kentucky basketball ends tonight with the game against the Troy Trojans. Tonight will be the first ever match up between the Kentucky Wildcats and the Trojans. Troy finished last season at 22-15 with a loss to Duke in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Head Coach Phil Cunningham is in his fifth season at Troy, winning the school’s first ever Sun Belt Tournament Championship, and reaching the NCAA Tourney for just the second time ever. Cunningham actually has Kentucky roots, being a native of Paducah, KY, giving Troy two coaches from the Bluegrass State with Neal Brown manning the sidelines as the head coach of the football team.
