Good evening Big Blue Nation. Looks like the starters for the gae will be the same as the first exhibition: Nerlens Noel, Archie Goodwin, Ryan Harrow, Alex Poythress, and Kyle Wiltjer.
Big question is how much will Jon Hood work his way into the rotation tonight and how will he play?
I'm the founder and creator of the Wildcat Blue Nation and am a proud UK grad and was born in Madisonville. After graduating from UK, I bounced around the media industry, working in TV and radio. Evenually I crossed over to corporate America and am now self employed .... but I've always been a sportswriter at heart. So I started this site on May 23,2009 to provide Kentucky Wildcat news and opinion ... without the drama.
