Kentucky to Play Purdue in Preseason Exhibition

[Joneslab]

The game will be held October 24th in Rupp Arena.

Probably two top ten preseason teams going at it in that one. There's a chance Purdue could be #1, or #2 behind Houston.

Tremendous! Sounds like it will be televised, but I'm wondering if they will have fans in attendance?

One of the story lines going into this is UK's recruitment of Braden Smith during the early spring.

You would think. Kansas and Arkansas played that exhibition last October in front of fans. And Kentucky did this once before against Morehead. We went and it was packed.

Definitely a sell-out game then. Kinda wild that a pre-season exhibition might be one of the hottest tickets this year.

Will be a fun early look at the teams.

So it’s officially an exhibition. But say one team wins by 30–seems that’s part of their resume’ come March. At least the eye test that can be important when it suits the committee (when it benefits certain teams).

John Fanta's very early preseason top 25. Looks like Kentucky will play half the top 10.

Wow it would be nice to be the best team to n the SEC!
