A bulk of Kentucky's roster are freshmen or transfers and the latest edition of John Calipari's team features a pronounced lack of available height.

Before heading into a neutral site showdown with No. 1 Kansas in the annual Champions Classic, No. 16 Kentucky gets two home games to measure its roster starting Monday when it hosts New Mexico State in Lexington, Ky.

Kentucky went 22-12 last season and lost standout forward Oscar Tshiebwe along with starters Jacob Toppin, Cason Wallace and Chris Livingston. Among those newcomers Kentucky is hoping to integrate with Antonio Reeves are West Virginia transfer Tre Mitchell, who scored 22 points in a 92-69 exhibition win over Georgetown College on Oct. 27 and freshman Rob Dillingham, who added 16 in the exhibition game.
