LOOK: The Kentucky Wildcats are practicing in the Philadelphia 76ers facility
The Cats are set to take on the Penn Quakers in the Wells Fargo Center, which is the home of the Philadelphia 76ers and, of course, former Kentucky star Tyrese Maxey.
Kentucky is currently practicing in the 76ers facility, which is exciting for the student-athletes.
These players have gotten a ton of opportunities to practice in NBA facilities as they have played in Madison Square Garden and will play in State Farm Arena (home of the Atlanta Hawks) next Saturday.
Playing in these venues helps these players, most of which will be in the NBA next year, learn what it's like to play on the big stage.
The Cats are practicing to play Penn, which is a team that loves to shoot the three ball. They shoot 41.5% from deep this season, so the Cats need to extend the three-point line and not go under ball screens.
This is a must win game for Kentucky after losing to UNC Wilmington and dropping in all of the major ranking categories.
Let's take a look at Kentucky practicing in the Philadelphia 76ers facilities ahead of the Cats Saturday matchup with Penn.
