Kentucky basketball has a very tough non-conference schedule.
The Kentucky Wildcats have a tough non-conference schedule where they will play some excellent opponents in big-time venues. When looking at the non-conference slate, many would quickly assume that the most challenging game is the matchup with Duke, which will be played in Atlanta in the State Farm Champions Classic.
This matchup with Duke won't be the Wildcats' most challenging game of the non-conference slate for three reasons. First, this is a neutral site game being played at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The last time Kentucky played here was last season against North Carolina. Big Blue Nation filled the stands, and the Wildcats had a ton of support, as they will in this matchup with Duke.
Reason three is that this Kentucky team is full of veteran players who have played in big-time games like this. In an early season game like this, the older team has an advantage over the younger team despite Duke having more talent.
