July 28, 200719 yr Author Money game for the Bears. Easy win for the Cats. You got it! Money game and good exposure. Pikeville is also scheduled to play EKU and Marshall also, I believe.
July 28, 200719 yr The last few years Tubby has been squeeking by in his exhib. games hopefully BCG changes that pattern.
July 28, 200719 yr The teams in NAIA Division I oftentimes have some Division I talent that wasn't able to work things out at a Division I school. Don't be fooled - teams like Pikeville and Georgetown always play hard, always have 3-point shooters, and are always competitive. In the end, teams like UK will normally end up winning by about 20 or so, but there is talent at this level.

There are a lot of talented players that are caught in between positions that go on to have great careers at that level.

July 28, 200719 yr Will they get a return game in the expo center?:jump: :jump: Not going to happen I don't believe, but can you imagine the amount of peope who would try and get tickets to that game?!! It would easily sell out in about 30 minutes! Eastern Kentucky always has been an area of the state that supports UK with everything they've got, it would be nice to see them play an exhibition or something somewhere in the area.

This will as others have said be a huge money game for Pikeville and that alone will help their program. A win-win situation.
