The Kentucky Wildcats are coming off their first win of the season against Wright State and are looking forward to their next game against Bucknell on Saturday, November 9th, at 4 p.m. EST. This will be another good opportunity for the Wildcats to get things squared away before their huge game against Duke on November 12. This game will be important to see this newly reloaded team's lineups, rotations, and efficiency. While Kentucky is the heavy favorite against Bucknell, the Bison will provide a good test for the Wildcats.

How can I watch the game?

TV: SEC Network+ or ESPN+

This one is a pain to watch as it won't be on regular television or even cable. It is exclusively available on streaming platforms only: The SEC Network+ or ESPN+. This means you need to watch it on an internet device, whether on a phone, computer or even a TV that has streaming on it. If you have Roku, Amazon TV, or any of the other streaming devices, you can find it there via the ESPN app.

For many of you, this is frustrating as all of Kentucky's basketball games have been hard to find or get to. Even ESPNU, for the opening game, isn't a normal channel. It will get easier as the season progresses; all the streaming games are on the front part of the season. In fact, after the Jackson State game on November 22nd there shouldn't be any more on the SEC Network+. There will be some on the TV channel - SEC Network, but unless something changes, there will be no more games on the streaming-only side.

That means there are still a few more games to get through with streaming, and you may have to keep coming to Wildcat Blue Nation to find those links, but soon enough, Kentucky will be in the thick of the season, playing many games on ESPN.
