Kentucky won't face West Virginia on Black Friday after all
· Yahoo Sports
Earlier this summer, as the Kentucky basketball schedule was being put together, rumors began to swirl that the Wildcats would be playing against West Virginia on Black Friday. However, it seems that particular matchup will no longer be happening.

On Thursday, West Virginia announced that they would be participating in the Dick Vitale Invitational on Nov. 27. There, they will face the North Carolina Tar Heels for the first time in 61 years. It should also be a nice matchup.
With that game no longer possible, Kentucky will likely look elsewhere for another. Mark Pope has been in favor of expanding the schedule, adding more games. Currently, teams may schedule up to 32 regular season games, but the Wildcats have just 31 of them on the docket for now.
Pope will certainly try to add another game as soon as possible, so fans can keep an eye out for that. It may be too late to add another power conference foe, but that's something Kentucky would prefer. We will update the schedule when, and if, another game is added.
