The Southeastern Conference announced dates for the upcoming 18-game league schedule for Kentucky men’s basketball on Monday, completing another piece of the puzzle for Mark Pope’s third season as head coach. Game times and television designations will be announced at a later date.
The schedule, which runs from early January through early March, features matchups against all 15 SEC conference opponents. The Wildcats will face teams including defending conference powerhouses Alabama, Florida and Texas, with home games at Rupp Arena at Central Bank Center balanced against road contests across the Southeast.
The full schedule comes as Kentucky returns five players from its NCAA Tournament Round of 32 squad: Braydon Hawthorne, Malachi Moreno, Trent Noah, Reece Potter and Kam Williams. The program also bolstered its roster with six notable transfers, headlined by Iowa State’s Milan Momcilovic, the nation’s leading 3-point shooter last season who shot 48.7 percent from deep.
Additionally, UK is still finalizing the exhibition and non-conference portions of its schedule, which will round out the team’s overall slate. The non-conference season features several marquee matchups, including a Champions Classic appearance against Kansas in Chicago on Nov. 10 and a neutral-site game against Indiana in Indianapolis on Nov. 20.
