A big week for the Kentucky Wildcats’ football and basketball teams.

Kentucky Wildcats News: Oklahoma and Little Rock Game Week for UK Football and Basketball

This week, the Kentucky Wildcats football and men's basketball teams are set to engage in a significant match-up. Following their thrilling upset of LSU, the Wildcats football team sits at 5-1 and is currently ranked 15th in the AP Poll. The team will be taking on the Oklahoma Sooners, who boast a formidable defense, ranking among the top 15 nationally for fewest yards allowed per game and 7th for fewest passing yards allowed per game.

This will be only the fourth time these two teams have faced each other on the football field, with the last matchup occurring in 1982.

On the basketball front, the Kentucky men's team will host Little Rock for their first exhibition game of the season. The matchup comes as the team prepares to welcome Travis Ford, the coach who previously hosted Kentucky head coach Mark Pope during Pope's transfer to Kentucky. This will be the first time many fans see the current Wildcats basketball team together on the court.
