Instead of playing UCLA and having North Carolina take on Ohio State, the Wildcats are now set to play the Tar Heels today at 2pm EST.
It’s debatable as to whether or not Kentucky is taking on a better opponent, as UCLA has been play great during a five-game winning streak. KenPom actually has UCLA a few sports about UNC.
Either way, a win here is a big one, and Kentucky needs the quality victory as the season has kicked off to a horrible start.
The Cats defeated Morehead State to start the season.
