Kentucky has a lot to fight for this week.
The Kentucky Wildcats are on the road tonight for their first real road test of the young college basketball season.
Head coach Mark Pope and his team will face off against Clemson tonight as part of the SEC/ACC Challenge.
Although Kentucky is now ranked No. 4 in the latest Associated Press Top-25 rankings, Clemson does not find themselves on that list.
Yet, the Wildcats are only 1.5-point favorites and ESPN’s Basketball Power Index is giving Kentucky just a 49.4% chance to win tonight.
Pope’s offense has been absolutely lethal throughout the season and Kentucky’s chemistry is only going to drastically improve as the games go by.
Tonight, Kentucky has a real opportunity to strengthen their resume early on in the year while also preparing for what is expected to be a rambunctious crowd Saturday in Seattle when the Wildcats face No. 7 Gonzaga.
Both Kentucky and Clemson each have seven wins, but only Clemson has a record that includes a loss. Will that change tonight?
We have lots of quality basketball ahead and it all starts with Kentucky & Clemson. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:30 PM ET and television coverage will be provided on ESPN.
