In case you haven’t checked the calendar, Kentucky–Duke is less than a week away. The next installment of the Cats-Devils college basketball rivalry is set for next Tuesday, 9:30 p.m. at New York’s Madison Square Garden as the second game of the Champions Classic doubleheader. ESPN has the telecast.
Will John Calipari‘s team be ready? Hard to say, of course, Tuesday being the regular-season opener against a formidable foe. Duke was ranked ninth, Kentucky 10th in the AP Top 25 preseason poll.
So far, we have but one UK game to go on, the 95-72 exhibition victory over Division II Kentucky Wesleyan last Friday. There was some good in the game: Keion Brooks and TyTy Washington on the offensive end. There was some bad: A noticeable lack of post defense.
