Tonight begins the annual mission of the Wildcats mission to hang another banner in Rupp Arena, preferably the championship variety. Our 'Cats have their first exhibition game against the Ottawa Braves.
If you are wondering, this university is not located in Canada, it is actually located in Kansas. The Braves are an NAIA school picked to finish middle of the pack in their conference.
The 'Cats open the season as the odds-on favorite to win the national title at 7 to 1, just ahead of Duke. We will get our first look at the guard heavy 'Cats and after Saturday night's debacle, the Big Blue Nation needs a pick me up.
