The Wright State Raiders (0-0) are looking to open their season with a major upset as they face off against the 23rd-ranked Kentucky Wildcats (0-0) on Monday night. Tip-off is set for 7 pm ET at Rupp Arena.

The Raiders entered the 2023-24 season with big ambitions but fell short, finishing with an 18-14 record and a 13-7 mark in the Horizon League, landing them in fourth place behind Oakland, Youngstown State, and Green Bay. Wright State’s season ended abruptly with a first-round loss to Northern Kentucky in the conference tournament.

On the other hand, Kentucky finished last season at 23-10 overall and went 13-5 in SEC play, securing second place just behind Tennessee (14-4). Despite their strong run, the Wildcats’ season ended on a disappointing note with early exits in both the SEC and national tournaments.

The Wildcats more importantly parted ways with legendary head coach John Calipari following the season and ushered in a new era under new head coach Mark Pope.

Kentucky Wildcats team news & key performers

Kentucky posted an impressive 89 points per game last season, shooting 49.4% from the field and 40.8% from three-point range. However, with 14 of their 16 players from last year’s squad departing, Coach Pope had to reassemble the roster primarily through transfers. Leading this new group is Jaxson Robinson, a former BYU guard who averaged 14.2 points and 2.5 rebounds per game under Pope last season. This influx of nine transfers has reshaped Kentucky’s lineup for the upcoming season.
