"The Wildcats will open with preseason favorite North Carolina in Chapel Hill November 18 in both team's first scheduled game of the season.
The game time is a result of a growing football presence in the game's usual December spot due to conference championship games. To add interest, ESPN will pick up the coverage in part with an all-day college basketball extravaganza.
The Heels will bring back all five starters from a Final Four team a year ago along with bringing in three McDonald's All-Americans.
Kentucky will be looking to continue to improve from the 07-08 season where the Wildcats struggled early, but had a solid end to last season.
Kentucky will have to replace guards Joe Crawford and Ramel Bradley along with having the possibility of Patrick Patterson not being up to speed after last year's season ending injury."

I'd rather we play a tough schedule though....This will benefit the Gillispie squad later in the year. Best to get the rough spots out early....
