Transylvania University has offically announced that they will play Kentucky in Rupp Arena again this season.

The Pioneers and Wildcats will square off on Nov. 5, with tip-off tentatively set for 7 p.m. The two teams played for the first time in 100 years last fall, with Transy leaping to an 11-4 lead before eventually falling 97-53 to a UK squad that would go on to win a national championship.
It was also a highly successful season for coach [URL=”http://www.transysports.com/staff.aspx?staff=2″]Brian Lane[/URL]’s squad, which won the Heartland Conference regular season title, posted a 23-5 overall record, and made an appearance in the NCAA Division III National Championship.
“We had such a positive experience with the game last year,” said Lane, who has guided the Pioneers to four NCAA appearances in the last six years. “We appreciate coach (John) Calipari putting us on the schedule again. Our players, students, faculty and staff, and alumni got a big kick out the whole experience last year and we look forward to doing it again. Hopefully, it will spur them to another championship.”

If Kentucky wins a national championship in 2013, then I vote Kentucky opens with Transy every year.
