LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky will host two in-state schools for basketball exhibitions in Rupp Arena this season.

The Wildcats will face Thomas More October 27 and Centre November 3. Times and television broadcast designations will be announced later.

"We've played different schools in the state," Kentucky coach John Calipari said last month. "We've played Transylvania (University). Transylvania got up on us 4-0 and they took the picture and framed it on their campus and they're up on Kentucky 4-0. It's one of those things, we're doing it for people that we have relationships with and it's more about helping those other schools.
