Kentucky basketball is set for a massive SEC showdown as the Wildcats take on the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday, Feb. 1, at 9 PM ET. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN, but if you’re looking to stream or listen on the radio, here’s everything you need to know.
Kentucky fans will welcome back John Calipari, and the question remains how that welcome is going to go. It seems to be split pretty much down the middle of fans wanting to cheer for all the good times; and fans wanting to boo the bad times. You also have some fence riders who want to stand in the middle and do nothing.
Whatever happens Saturday night, here is everything you need to watch or listen to the most iconic moment outside of March this college basketball season.
