Campbellsville University Tigers to play UK It's a first for CU. Game will pit Tigers against new Coach John Calipari and what may be best recruiting class in nation From Campbellsville University Sports Information Department The rumor mill had been churning at a record pace, but until today it was only a rumor that Campbellsville University's men's basketball team will play the University of Kentucky in an exhibition game on Monday, November 2, 2009. With a signed contract on CU Director of Athletics Rusty Hollingsworth's desk, that rumor has become reality. Keith Adkins' 2009-2010 team will have an opportunity to do something no other CU team has done on the hardwood -- play the University of Kentucky in Rupp Arena. Making the exhibition even more special is the fact that the Wildcats have a new coach in John Calipari and what some observers say is the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation. "For the last couple of years they've been playing against someone in our conference," said Adkins. "Rusty was diligent working with Mitch (UK Athletics Director) Barnhart." Adkins couldn't say enough for what Steve Branscum did behind the scenes. Branscum, of Russell Springs, KY a trustee at CU, is also a trustee at UK. "There's no question it's a very big event for our program, the university and our community," said Adkins. "They have a new coach and a highly-regarded recruiting class." Adkins also hopes the exhibition (the time of which has not yet been announced) will have an impact on his recruiting. "It's got to help. When you can tell kids that they're going to get to play UK in Rupp Arena, that has to be a factor." It won't be the first trip for Campbellsville into "SECland," as Adkins likes to call it. The Tigers played Arkansas twice. They've also played Western Kentucky, a team that has had consecutive Sweet 16 and Round of 32 seasons the last two years. Shining additional light on an already glimmering situation, the game is believed to be the first public scrimmage by UK against players other than among themselves. "There will be a lot of excitement from fans of both programs," Adkins said.-Richard RoBards, correspondent This story was posted on 2009-06-29 16:59:25
