Kentucky Basketball released its 2021-22 non-conference schedule on Monday to a roar of unenthusiasm from Big Blue Nation. The home schedule looks great for keeping a winning record ahead of SEC play; however, it is not-so-great for season ticket holders.
At first glance, the lack of marquee home opponents jumps off the page with only one game, the Louisville game, bringing Power 5 competition to Lexington. The eight other non-conference home opponents come from the Horizon League, the Northeast Conference, the MAC, the SWAC, the America East Conference, the A-Sun, and the Big South.
