Dick Vitale believes Kentucky is playing too many cupcakes next season.
Vitale pointed out on social media that Mark Pope’s squad only has “5 legit challenges” on the 2026-27 nonconference schedule.
Check out his comments on X:
The @KentuckyMBB has many cupcakes on their pre conference schedule & 5 legit challenges – BBN -Cats fans & players deserve a more challenging schedule in getting ready for the @SEC – especially having a TEAM with over 21 MILLION in NIL dollars .
