The No. 5 Kentucky Wildcats (8-1) will host the Colgate Raiders (2-8) in a midweek SEC-Patriot League clash in Lexington, Kentucky, on Wednesday night.

On the other hand, Kentucky started the season on fire, racking up seven straight wins over Wright State, Bucknell, Duke, Lipscomb, Jackson State, Western Kentucky, and Georgia State. After a setback against Clemson, the Wildcats bounced back with a narrow victory over Gonzaga.
