Kentucky is back in action Friday as Valparaiso comes to Lexington for the final tune-up before Louisville. The Cats shook off an ugly offensive start to beat Nicholls State 77-51, unfortunately, the viewing options continue to be rather… frustrating.
Just like Tuesday’s Nicholls State game, this one is SEC Network+ only, meaning stream-only access.
And if you’re a YouTube TV subscriber, you alread know there’s more bad news: You currently cannot watch the game on YTTV due to the Disney carriage dispute. That has been on-going since October 30th and there really is no end in sight for either of the sides. Kentucky's depth will be tested once again for this one with Jaland Lowe and Trent Noah's status up in the air.
