UK goes to North Carolina, welcomes Indiana to Rupp Arena and visits Louisville in Freedom Hall on Sunday Jan. 4. Those are the highlights of Kentucky's second basketball schedule under coach Billy Gillispie.And, of coure, the Wildcats also make a trip to Las Vegas on Thanksgiving Weekend, the same trip U of L made last year and Western Kentucky made two years ago. I went to Vegas last year. Highly recommend it.Although I'll warn you about one thing: The arena is attached to a casino.-- the Orleans, which is about a mile West of the Strip. The games are not played in the 18,000-seat arena where UNLV plays. The Orleans is nice, but it only seats about 6,000 people. Better start looking for tickets (as well as rooms and flights) quickly if you plan to attend.Here is the complete 08-09 UK basketball schedule.
