The Florida Gators are a much better team than they were last season. They played the Baylor Bears tough at a neutral site game. Kentucky will take them on in a hostile environment on a Saturday afternoon.

One week after the Florida game, Kentucky will take on Texas A&M in another hostile environment on a weekend. Texas A&M has played teams like FAU and Virginia close. The Aggies will have a big test against the No. 6 Houston Cougars on Dec. 16.

3. At Arkansas, Saturday Jan. 27

Arkansas already has a signature win under its belt. The Razorbacks upset the No. 7 Duke Bluedevils 80-75 earlier this week. Bud Walton Arena has a much-deserved reputation of being one of the toughest places to play in college basketball. Arkansas is a tough team that really thrives on its home floor.

At Auburn, Saturday Feb. 17

Neville Arena has become one of the toughest places to play in all of college basketball since Bruce Pearl has taken over the Auburn program. The Tigers are a talented team and Kentucky has struggled with them on the road in their recent trips to Auburn.

At Tennessee, Saturday Mar. 9

Tennessee is a tough team to beat anywhere you play them. When you play them on their home court inside Thompson-Boling Arena, it will be even tougher.
