Kentucky Wildcats News: UK Basketball Set to Play Big 12 Teams in Exhibition Season

Good morning, BBN!

Mark Pope will be getting back to his late BYU roots, with both new exhibition opponents expected to be from the Big 12, sources tell KSR’s Jack Pilgrim.

Matt Jones confirmed that one of them will be Texas Tech.

I was a big fan of last year’s exhibition matchup with Purdue, even though it gave BBN a false sense of hope before the season started.

It’s good to compete with the best teams in America, and the Big12 has a few of those, with Texas Tech showing elite consistency over the last few seasons.

What is the other Big 12 team you’re hoping to see the Cats match up with?
