Kentucky to host Texas Tech in exhibition game on October 23

Kentucky Basketball will face Texas Tech in an exhibition game on October 23 at Rupp Arena. The Red Raiders, coming off a 23-11 season, will be without standout J.T. Toppin, who suffered a season-ending injury last year but still aim to be a top-25 team. Both teams were eliminated in the NCAA Tournament's Second Round last season. Kentucky has a historic 5-0 record against Texas Tech, with their last match ending in a close 76-74 victory in Lubbock. The game coincides with a home football game for Kentucky, enhancing the excitement of the weekend in Lexington.
