Need a Reason to Watch UK vs. Drexel/Long Beach State?

How about 2,000 reasons?

If the Kentucky Wildcats take care of business during their next three games, they will be playing for their 2,000th all-time victory in Rupp Arena on December 21 against Drexel.

Even if the Wildcats stumble in one of the upcoming games - Connecticut would seemingly be the only team with a true chance of making that happen - they will be going for number 2,000 on December 23 against Long Beach State. That game is also in Rupp Arena.

So, barring a disaster, the Kentucky Wildcats will earn their 2,000th win in front of 24,000 members of the Big Blue Nation.
