The Kentucky Wildcats will be having an extra exhibition game this year, and the proceeds from the game will go to charity.
According to KSR’s Matt Jones, UK will host the Morehead State Eagles in Rupp Arena on Oct. 30th.

The UK/Morehead State game WILL NOT be on tv...which means only way to see it is at Rupp...tickets will be different than season tickets

Having an extra exhibition game for charity is something that’s sweeping college basketball this year, as team’s across the nation are having extra games to raise money for various charities.
With so many tragic events having taken place in recent months, colleges everywhere are working harder than ever to help support victims of these terrible tragedies and show that love will always defeat evil. It’s great to see UK becoming the latest school to be involved with such a cause.
Assuming this game does happen, my guess is, in terms of the game itself, we’ll see a lot more of the reserves than usual, allowing guys like Tai Wynyard, Jemarl Baker and the walk-ons to play more than they would in a normal exhibition game.
