So much for Duke at Rupp. What a bogus dumb decision by the coordinators.
You have ABSOLUTE GOLD in your pocket for the inaugural season and you blow it? I mean you give UK either UNC or Duke, anything else is just brain dead. Who are these people, I wanna send them a bag of shit.

Louisville the odd team out. Perfect!
UL Sucks so bad they could only take 1 beatdown from a SEC school a year.
They probably don’t think Kentucky is worthy of that matchup
Also why didn't the include the logo from the SEC team in that tweet? Seems LAZY! JUST LIKE THE SCHEDULING.
I guess that means we won't play Duke until at least the 2025/2026 season as we are scheduled to play them in the Champions Classic in 2024/2025 season if my math is right. We played MSU last year, Duke the year before that, and are playing Kansas this year.
This year we are at home. Next year we are away. So the 2025/2026 season we should play Duke at Rupp (or whomever we play that year).

Miami will lose its two leading scorers from last season — Isaiah Wong and Jordan Miller — but should still return a formidable roster for the 2023-24 campaign. The team’s three other starters from last season — guards Nijel Pack and Wooga Poplar, and forward Norchad Omier — will all be back, and the program will also bring in 6-foot-7 junior guard Matthew Cleveland, a former five-star recruit who led Florida State in points per game and total rebounds last season.

Honestly, they took who they projected as the top 2 SEC teams and put them against Duke and UNC. Miami has been a top 4 ACC team in the past five years, they just don't have the name cache.
The only other "higher profile" team was probably Virginia, but did we really want to watch a YOUNG and INEXPERIENCED Kentucky team against Virginia? Talk about boring.

So, is the subconscious thought here that people will recognize the almighty ACC logos, but they have to spell out the names of the lowly SEC teams?
This is exactly what I concluded. Preseason ranking not high enough. Afraid Cal would get blown out again. Notice Tenn and Ark are matched with the big guys. Can't argue with their reasoning. May as well get used to it. We are middle of the pack now. This is what $9 mil/yr has bought us.

Kind of a big letdown IMO. Only see 2 or 3 attractive games on that schedule. Will Rupp even be full for that game versus Miami?
It was probably set then we got Reeves back and landed Mitchell and they thought no that might be a competitive game at Rupp. Switch.
It's a good opponent, just not the one we wanted.
I don't know why they didn't get us UNC and UT to Miami.
UT vs UNC is not much of a draw or rivalry. Where UK/UNC (no matter how either program is doing, will ALWAYS draw viewers.
Virginia isn't even that good. I mean they flamed out early yet again. (I know we did to, but lets be real....UVA is not on the same level as us. Bennett is not that great of a tourney coach. )
An inexperience UK team vs UVA might be 20-15 by half time.
