The 11th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats continue to prepare for the start of SEC play, and they will host the Coppin State Eagles of the MEAC this evening. Coppin State has suffered back-to-back losses to fall to 4-5 overall, including 0-5 in true road games. After a respectable 12-point road loss to Connecticut last week, the Eagles were manhandled by Wisconsin on Thursday, falling by an 80-56 final. They have played one MEAC game to date, and that ended in a six-point loss to Morgan State.
