Kentucky’s 2018-19 men’s basketball schedule is going to be challenging for the young Wildcats.
The Cats will get in some preseason action in the Bahamas, but the games will be far from vacation basketball. The Wildcats are scheduled to play the Bahamas National Team, San Lorenzo de Almagra, Mega Bemax and Team Toronto.
San Lorenzo is currently 30-8 in Argentina’s top-level LigaA. The team features former DePaul and NBA D-League star Dar Tucker.
Kentucky will also face four of college basketball’s biggest names in Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and Louisville.
Additionally, the Wildcats will battle Seton Hall in Madison Square Garden and Utah at Rupp Arena.
