Blue/White Mens Basketball Scrimmage To Air On SEC Netwrok

 Kentucky’s annual Blue-White Scrimmage set for Oct. 27 in Rupp Arena will air live on the SEC Network, it was announced Tuesday.

The scrimmage will also be available on WatchESPN and SECNetwork.com. Dave Baker and Jeff Piecoro will be on the call, as well as former Wildcat Mark Krebs providing insight from the sidelines. The game will be produced by UK Sports Video.Game time is slated for a 7 p.m. ET tip.

UK’s Blue-White Scrimmage will mark the first of 11 SEC Network televised contests in 2014-15. In addition to Monday’s scrimmage, both of UK’s exhibition games vs. Pikeville (Nov. 2) and Georgetown College (Nov. 9) will be available on the SEC Network. It will mark the first time in school history that Kentucky’s Blue-White Scrimmage and exhibition games will be available on national television. Check with your cable or satellite provider for availability in your area and channel designations. You can find your network channel at this link: getsecnetwork.com.

Tickets for the Blue-White Scrimmage are still available. Lower-level (singles only) tickets are available for $10, while upper-level tickets are $5. Tickets may be purchased online at ticketmaster.com, by calling Ticketmaster at (800)-745-3000 or in person at statewide Ticketmaster outlets.

I guess the outrage Kentucky fans showed (over 5,000 phone calls to ESPN and MANY MANY negative reactions on Twitter) caused by the SEC Network NOT showing Big Blue Madness paid off...
