The preseason NIT scheduling committee must be the same as the NCAA tournament selection committee. I, for one, couldn't be happier about the opportunity to play Kentucky this season. Here are the top ten reasons playing Kentucky in the preseason NIT would be a good thing:
10. Exorcize the demons
9. Piss off Al Jensen early in the season
8. Charge into the top 10 where we belong
7. It will be an exciting game to watch
6. Get a taste of the pressure that will build into March
5. See what our team is made of
4. Help the Utes prepare for the tournament when Kentucky is in our bracket
3. Find out who is going to step up and be the next leader for the Utes. Jensen? Hanno? Harvey? One of the younger kids?
2. Die Kentucky Die
