Greetings BBN.
Today is a big one in the world of UK Athletics.
First, the No. 19 Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball team faces the Michigan Wolverines in London at 1 pm ET.
Later, we’ll learn the bowl destination for the football team, which should come sometime this afternoon, so here’s where some of the final bowl projections have the Cats landing (keep in mind it’s reportedly down to the Music City/Liberty Bowl).
In addition, the women’s basketball team is back home to face UNC-Greensboro.
Go Cats!!!
