As UK notes, Stephen F. Austin was 28-6 last season and came within a basket of making the Sweet 16. The game vs. Canisius, a college founded by Jesuits in Buffalo, New York, will be the first game in the Bluegrass Showcase. Finally, of course, the showdown with Michigan State in Madison Square Garden will be part of the annual Champions Classic. Kentucky last played Tom Izzo’s squad in the event in 2013 in Chicago, where the Cats last by four.

Dang! Starting November 15th, It looks tougher than the NCAA Tourney! That should test this young team pretty well! If they come through that unscathed, we will have something to see.

Michigan State, UCLA, Kansas, North Carolina, and Louisville. Only thing missing is Duke.

We have lost 7 of the last 9 games we have played against Duke. The only 2 coachs to beat Duke since 1979 are Tubby and Cal.
