LIU to play at Kentucky on Black Friday

Did you enjoy watching LIU Brooklyn play Michigan State during the NCAA tournament? Did you wish that you could see the Blackbirds take on eventual national champions Kentucky instead? Well this season you’ll get your chance. In a game that should look at a lot like a 1/16 match-up, LIU is going to head to Rupp Arena to  take on John Calipari’s latest version of super freshmen. The game is on November 23, which conveniently is Black Friday. Can LIU pull the upset if Kentucky is hungover after eating too much turkey? Probably not, but it should be a great challenge for the Blackbirds and a nice part of non-conference schedule that’s shaping up to be an impressive slate.
