Wow. Idk why but I was thinking a lot bigger. Pretty tiny place considering all the big names that have come from there.
For reference Lexington has a population almost 7x bigger.
We play at Va

Nothing close either, all metro areas are over an hour away. Best bet would be on the west side of Richmond or make a mini vacation out of it and stay in Williamsburg which is pretty cool.
Charlottesville is a cool college town. Lots of history there and surrounding areas.
I live 2 hours south in Hampton VA, definitely will try to be there....
This is a big reason I like the matchup. That and VA should be a quad 1 game for us. Always found it very odd we never play them.
I LOVE seeing that duke has to go INTO FLORIDA! Man oh man! I know duke is very talented but I look for them to get absolutely annihilated in that game. It’ll be rockin down there for duke!
We deserve Duke at Florida, especially considering that Florida went to Duke last year and they're both Top three. Alabama might hang 130 on Miami. Florida gonna chomp to #4 anyway
They intentionally made Kentucky and Duke either play at home at the same time, or away. Besides, Florida is the premier program in the SEC, and Duke is the premier program in the ACC. The only way this works is if one of the two teams play on the road in consecutive years. If it's Kentucky, then the earliest Duke could come to Rupp is in 2028-29.
I’m close to Charlottesville too. I plan to go if tickets aren’t too pricey. They have a nice facility ( much smaller than Rupp). Seats are all decent.
Should be a lot of fun. Go Cats.

Duke got back to back home games which threw off the rotation. I doubt they ever gift UK back to back home games, little lone making Duke come to Rupp. One can hope, but it's more likely we get sent to Cameron sometime down the road.
2023 - Duke played AT Arkansas
2024 - Auburn played AT Duke
2025 - Florida played AT Duke
2026 - Duke is playing AT Florida
I've been to a lot of state tournaments in Charlottesville, but back when it was held at University Hall. We went there a couple of years ago for a weekend getaway while visiting family in East TN. It's a nice town and a beautiful area.
Living right around UVA this is awesome for me. I'll be there reppin

I looked for tickets and they aren’t available so I will watch and post once they are.
Even sans Gonzaga this year, we're going to have another tough schedule. OOC as well as, of course, in conference.
Gonna have to bring our A+ game to beat them there, and I am not at all surprised its them.

On this board, even before the first practice, there are many who make predictions with absolute certainty. Many of these initially felt that it was an insult for UK to have to play UVA in light of UVA’s record last year and number of returning players and the fact that this may be their first true road game.
This is one part prediction and one part hope. But Florida lost a one point game last year. They will be better, I'm not sure Duke will be.
Duke was also up 14 that game and it took Boogie Fland hitting shots that he never does to make it close.
John Paul Jones is a great arena. Went there for the Duke game the year the Cavaliers won the national championship. Duke won the game because they made an uncharacteristic 13-21 three pointers.
Be similar to the West Virginia environment back when Keldon Johnson played for UK.
Arkansas at North Carolina
I like UNC in this one. Arkansas has a rather weak frontcourt (Bowser is a 4 and Muurinen is more of a 3 right now) and UNC has the more experienced backcourt.
Auburn at Clemson
I'd flip this one too. Clemson lost their top 7 players and didn't replace them, while Auburn is bringing back their 3 best players.
Wake Forest at LSU
If LSU gets their players eligible, they are gonna be a tournament team. WF is not.
Alabama at Miami
I'd flip this one too. Miami has some nice transfers in Lewis, Dorn, and Cyril, plus Henderson will be a star. I think Bama is overrated. Oats will be relying on several 4/5-star sophomore and freshmen guys, plus Brandon Garrison. There is no Philon, Sears, or Shackelford to carry them.
Beautiful campus and fun area. Take an extra day if you can if you haven’t been in that area before.
Virginia will be a tough test at their place. Thijs de Ridder will be a problem for us
That'll be biggest game of the week tooHow dare they give Duke a road game.
You’re probably thinking of Kevin Knox. Keldon Johnson wasn’t on the team that played at WVU.
UK vs. West Virginia in Morgantown
