The Kentucky Wildcats are 7-1 and ranked 10th in the AP Top 25 college basketball poll. The Wildcats have yet to face a true road test, however. That changes Saturday, Dec. 11, 2021, when John Calipari’s club travels to South Bend to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. ESPN has the 5:15 p.m. telecast. Lexington Herald-Leader sports columnist John Clay talked to Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune and Jon Hale of the Courier-Journal in Louisville to preview the game.
