John Calipari said on his radio show last night that Kentucky has been invited to participate in an exhibition game or games this summer.
Calipari said he didn’t have any other details but he expected the event to take place in July.
Moments later, assistant Chin Coleman took over for Calipari on the show and said that it will be an exhibition event in Toronto.
KSR is hearing that it’s an international exhibition competition, and the Wildcats will be representing the United States.
What will that event look like? Sources tell KSR that Kentucky is set to represent the United States and play against international competition. Baylor University participated in the same event, the GLOBL JAM, in Toronto last July 5-10.
It was an Under-23 tournament that featured teams from USA, Canada, Italy and Brazil in a partnership between Canada Basketball and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). Recognized by FIBA, the tournament featured a four-team pool competing in round-robin action from July 5-8, followed by the semifinal round on July 9 and the championship on July 10.
