It's going to be another fun year with a lot of tough games that will only make us a better team come tournament time.

The Wildcats’ 2015-16 schedule will once again meet that demand as Calipari announced a 13-game non-conference schedule on Thursday that features 10 games against teams who advanced to the postseason a season ago.

That list includes national champion Duke in the third game of the season at the Champions Classic in the United Center in Chicago on Nov. 17. In all, the Wildcats will take on six NCAA Tournament squads, two NIT participants and two teams that advanced to at least the quarterfinals of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. The average final RPI of the teams comes in at 105, with five teams in the all-important top 50 of the RPI.

Why did we not have a return game with UNC this year? Not that I don't think our non-conference schedule is not tough enough already!

It's great to play North Carolina, wish we could do it every year. That's what makes us Kentucky, we are not afraid of anyone any time. imo
