The Cats will travel north to the beautiful state of New York along with a three other elite programs to open the NCAA season with a bang.

Kentucky, after being dubbed the nation’s second-best team, will be tested against Tom Izzo’s Spartans, a game that’ll kick off at 9:30 pm EST in Madison Square Garden. It’ll be their first and arguably most difficult test of the season.
