Mizzou Arena is now sold out for Kentucky (shocker)
Stop me if youβve heard this one before: Kentucky will travel to a sold-out venue for a true road game.
The Wildcats are set to take on the Missouri Tigers in Columbia on Wednesday to open the conference schedule. Coming off its largest win over a ranked foe in over a decade β 12 years to be exact β Mizzou Arena is now sold out for the battle.
Missouri announced the sellout on Christmas Eve, quite the gift for a program led by new head coach Dennis Gates. The Tigers enter the matchup with an 11-1 record, the lone loss coming against No. 6 Kansas (95-67) back on Dec. 10.
