This Saturday’s matchup is a rarity for the Kentucky Wildcats.
Not only will they be playing the No. 2 team in the country, but they’ll be playing them on the road. While UK usually plays very highly ranked teams each year in non-conference events such as the Champions Classic and SEC/Big 12 Challenge, they rarely face them on the opponent’s home floor.
In fact, this year, UK gets a special treat: They get to play top-10 teams on the road on back-to-back Saturdays with a trip to Allen Fieldhouse also coming up.
