During his introductory press conference, new Kentucky head coach Mark Pope hinted at games against St. John’s and Rick Pitino in the near future.
Pitino seemed to confirm that a home-and-home series is happening on social media this morning.
According to Pitino, St. John’s will come to Rupp Arena next season and the Wildcats will travel to the Mecca (Madison Square Garden) the following season.
Wow, just saw clips from our Captain’s press conference. Not shocked, but pleasantly surprised. Would expect nothing less from @CoachMarkPope. Also, @StJohnsBBall accepts, this year at UK, next year at the Mecca! Looking forward to saying goodbye to @KentuckyMBB.
