After back-to-back road games, Kentucky is back at Rupp Arena for some midweek action. KSR’s LIVE BLOG will bring you all the sights and sounds from Rupp Arena as the No. 5 Cats host the Colgate Raiders (8 p.m. ET, ESPN2).
Kentucky is now 8-1 and coming off a thrilling comeback win vs. Gonzaga. Colgate is 2-8, its only wins coming vs. SUNY-Canton and UNC Wilmington. The Raiders have played two power conference teams this season, losing at Syracuse (74-72) and NC State (72-49). They are the worst team left on Kentucky’s schedule in the KenPom ratings (No. 271), but tonight’s game will be played for a very special reason. Late Colgate professor Ephraim Woods of Ashland, Kentucky was a lifelong UK fan and Colgate head coach Matt Langel worked to schedule the game in his honor. I’m sure that will come up during tonight’s broadcast.
