Kanter To Play At Rupp Arena

{Kentucky}...Enes Kanter is one of twelve former UK players scheduled to take the floor at Rupp Arena Monday night in an exhibition game against a group of "Villians" coached by former Duke All-American Christian Laettner. Kanter said, "I'm excited I am finally going to play at Rupp Arena in front of Kentucky's fans, it's great." Last season, the NCAA ruled Kanter permanently ineligible, ending his career at the University of Kentucky. Kanter, who spent the summer playing in his native Turkey with the national team and has been in California the last few weeks training with other NBA players, says he considers Lexington his hometown.
