The next seven days for Kentucky Athletics is setting up to be full of big games and a lot of excitement.

Tonight, the Kentucky volleyball team takes on conference rival Florida, with both teams ranked in the top 15 nationally. Kentucky has been on a tear recently in SEC play, and tonight’s match (broadcasted on ESPNU) carries a lot of weight moving forward.

On Thursday, Western Hills star Wandale Robinson will announce where he will play college football next year. Robinson has been an absolute star, making opposing defenses look silly on the football field this year. Robinson is essentially deciding between Kentucky, Ohio State, and Nebraska. While Kentucky isn’t the favorite, as a finalist, they can’t be ruled out.

Friday will be Kentucky Basketball’s second exhibition game, as we’ll get another chance to see the Wildcats in action before the opening game on Tuesday. Kentucky should cruise just fine against Indiana University of Pennsylvania but it will be exciting to see the team back on the court.

Friday is also when the Conference USA men’s soccer regular-season championship will be decided in a winner-take-all, top-25 finale between the No. 3 Kentucky men’s soccer team and No. 24 Old Dominion on Friday at The Bell. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET.

We all know what Saturday is. The football game against Georgia will be arguably the biggest Kentucky Football game of the modern era. The SEC East is on the line, and regardless, this season on the gridiron has been a special one.

Finally, on Tuesday, Kentucky opens the basketball season in the Champions Classic against Duke. Two teams projected to make the Final Four will square off with the top two recruiting classes in the country with nearly a dozen NBA prospects on the floor. Both teams will look to start their 2018-2019 campaigns off with a win and some major momentum.

Buckle up, BBN. It’s going to be a fun week. Stay here with us to follow along on this fun ride.

Vince Marrow is the ultimate hype man.

Wow! Kentucky lost to Vandy 40-0 on Saturday, November 3, 2012. Six years later, Kentucky can win the East on November 3, 2018. This program has climbed from its lowest point and is on the cusp of finally claiming something nobody ever thought it could. https://t.co/A7C88J0nfo
