Tonight is the night basketball fans — the Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball team is tipping off regular season play against the Duke Blue Devils.

The game will be played in Madison Square Garden + will air on ESPN at 9:30 p.m. Yes — it’s a late game — but it’s a game that everyone will talk about for the rest of the season. So don’t be the fan who rides the bench and misses this one.

We’re dishing out an assist and listing off the best sports bars in Lexington so you can get out to watch the game.

We also understand waking up for work after a late game can feel a bit like taking a charge. That’s why we’re pairing your neighborhood pub with the closest local coffee shop — a power duo like Boogie + John Wall.
