The Kentucky Wildcats will play the Kansas Jayhawks on January 30th at 7pm eastern on ESPN as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge.
Here is an excerpt from the release:
The Wildcats will visit Lawrence, Kan., to play the Jayhawks in the annual league challenge between the Southeastern Conference and Big 12. The 2016 meeting will mark UK’s first trip to Allen Fieldhouse since Jan. 7, 2006 and just its second since Dec. 9, 1989.
This marks the third season of the annual Big 12/SEC Challenge, though this will be the first season where all 10 games of the challenge will be played on the same day.
Ten of the SEC’s 14 teams will participate in this year’s event against all 10 of the Big 12’s institutions. Each of the 10 SEC teams participating in the 2016 games will also play in the 2017 event. The four SEC teams not participating will play each other in conference games the same day.
It should be one of the biggest nonconference games of the season, that is if Kentucky is totally straightened out by then.
