College basketball final: Kentucky Wildcats 96, Illinois State Redbirds 70
After a Christmas break layoff, John Calipari’s Kentucky Wildcats return to action on Friday to face the Illinois State Redbirds at Rupp Arena. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. The SEC Network will have the television coverage.
It promises to be a weird game for UK’s leading scorer, Antonio Reeves. The Chicago native played three seasons at Illinois State before transferring to UK prior to the 2022-23 season.
Ben Roberts, Mark Story and Cameron Drummond will be at Rupp covering the action. You can follow them on Twitter/X at @BenRobertsHL and @markcstory and @cdrummond97.
