Believe it or not, the 2023-24 Kentucky Basketball season unofficially tips off a week from tomorrow with Big Blue Madness. The folks at the Joe Craft Center are celebrating by sharing some new tip times and TV information for a handful of games, including one the BBN certainly has circled on the calendar. Kentucky vs. Louisville at the KFC Yum! Center on December 21 will tip off at 6 p.m. ET and air on ESPN. Put your Ls down and make plans accordingly.

The good news: we also got tip times and TV info for Kentucky’s exhibitions vs. Georgetown College and Kentucky State, the Texas A&M-Commerce game, and the Stonehill game. The bad news: they all will stream on SEC Network+/ESPN+, aka “the computer.” I can hear Freddie Maggard groaning now.

If you’re new to this, SEC Network+ and ESPN+ are only accessible through the ESPN app. That means you won’t be able to watch the game on traditional TV; you’ll only be able to see it on smartphones, tablets, TV-connected devices (Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, SmartTV, etc.), or via espn.com/watch. Every SEC school is assigned SECN+ and ESPN+ games each season by the conference and its television partners. If you’re a glass-half-full person, at least Kentucky’s getting its computer games over with early, right?

Here’s the entire schedule for your viewing pleasure. UK also shared it in graphic form if you’d like to print it out for the fridge.
