The Kentucky Wildcats are 5-0 for the first time since the 2016-2017 season, and they are looking to push it to 6-0 over an in-state opponent in Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers are 3-2 on the season and have played two similar opponents to the Wildcats in Lipscomb and Jackson State. Western Kentucky won both of those games. The Hilltoppers should be one of the better Wildcat's November opponents and have had a couple of extra days to get ready for Kentucky.

There's good news on how to watch this game. It will be the first one in what feels like forever on a regular cable TV channel. The last few games have all been "streaming-only" games, but unless something changes, we are beyond that and on into more normal programming. While there are still many that are only on cable channels, that's the nature of the game nowadays.
