UK basketball headed to Pikeville for annual Blue-White scrimmage, flood relief fundraiser

The Kentucky men's basketball team is hitting the road for its annual Blue-White scrimmage.

John Calipari and the Wildcats will be taking the court Saturday, Oct. 22, at the Appalachian Wireless Arena in Pikeville. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m., and the game will be broadcast on SEC Network+.

During a telethon/open practice in August to raise funds for flood-relief efforts in Eastern Kentucky, point guard Sahvir Wheeler told fans gathered inside Rupp Arena that this year's Blue-White scrimmage would be played in Pikeville. Nothing had been finalized at that moment, but UK on Monday announced the plan has come to fruition.
