We’re going to Indiana!!! … to play Notre Dame.
The word on the street is Kentucky will play Notre Dame in the SEC/Big East Challenge this coming season. It’s not quite the Georgetown matchup that Andy Katz originally reported, but it’s one that will test Kentucky’s incoming class in the non-conference schedule, assuming Notre Dame still has big white guys with buzz cuts.
In this battle of flattops, Nerlens Noel is sure to prevail.
Go Cats.

a road game? what a crazy idea

I don’t really understand ND. We played them 3 years ago in the SEC/Big East challenge and there are so many more Big East teams I would rather play. Marquette, Syracuse, Cincy, WV, Gtown, and Pitt. I understand this scheduling is impossible but playing St Johns and ND twice in a 3 year span is not that exciting.

I wonder if Digger will yell at BBN when we take over their home gym for this game? “Listen to me!”

What a letdown. I was so in hopes it would be Georgetown, but Notre Dame? PUH-LEEZE.

In case anyone forgot, UK is the NCAA champion in basketball.

Notre Dame is a quality opponent, but as others have pointed out, we’ve already played them in the Challenge! Is everyone else repeating their opponents from two years ago as well?

#3. I’m with you but we can’t play Syracuse because they too are linked for a road game this year — Mizzou has been mentioned for them.
I’d rather see us play Georgetown or Pitt but Notre Dame also will be a ranked team to begin the season.

Did Corey have any updates to the NBA Draft Board?
This game will go in the L column for UK. They can’t play on the road.

A huge disappointment! The UK-ND games in the past were extremely boring to watch. I wanted to see UK-Georgetown in DC. No way the organizers were going to give that opportunity to Calpari seeing as the Regional will be held in DC. Don’t want to somehow give UK an advantage for the NCAAs.

Also, it is a game that if UK wins, well they were supposed to win. If UK loses, it is a huge deal for everyone, including ESPN commercials.

#1 got it right.
Meh.
No imagination in this. Would have rather played UC (they got Alabama instead).

Boring. Boring. Boring. Should have played the Cuse. ND is a no-win situation for UK.

A sportswriter over at the “local” newspaper site took a jab at KSR in his blog post about the UK ND match up. Something about “attempting to blow up his live blog” the last time UK visited ND. 4 years ago. Not that he is bitter about it….
