BREAKING: Kentucky moves tipoff vs. Ole Miss to 11 AM ET

Jack PIlgrimby: Jack Pilgrim01/23/26

Big news ahead of snowmageddon in Kentucky this weekend — tipoff between the Wildcats and Ole Miss Rebels has been moved up, the school has announced.

Previously scheduled for 12 PM ET, the opening tip has been moved up one hour to 11 AM ET on Saturday, Jan. 24 because of the winter storm expected to impact Lexington and much of the surrounding area.

The game will still be broadcast on ESPN and tickets remain valid. Doors to enter Rupp Arena will open at 9:30 a.m.

This update comes following the National Weather Service’s Winter Storm Warning for the area on Saturday and Sunday, predicting heavy snowfall and arctic air to follow.
