The Cats are going to make a pitstop on the way to Maui next season as they are going to play the Portland Pilots. This from Brett Dawson:

The Wildcats will play the Pilots at the Rose Garden, home of the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers. Portland will play at Rupp Arena in 2012 and 2013.
The game will be the first ever in Oregon for Kentucky basketball, and it will serve as a homecoming for Terrence Jones, senior power forward at Portland’s Jefferson High School, who will play at Kentucky next season.
“When I arrived at Kentucky and first looked at the schedule, we immediately started talking about the possibility of breaking up our trip to Maui by playing a game on the West Coast,” UK coach Calipari said in a release. “Portland gives us the opportunity to play in a great basketball city with a great venue, and more importantly, gives Terrence Jones a chance to go home and play in front of his family and friends.”

You know you have a big time recruit when the University of Kentucky decides to play somewhere because of them. Wonder if the Cats are going to try and schedule something in Turkey too??
