There was intense jubilation across much of the Gonzaga fandom, and presumably some in Kentucky, after it was announced that the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Kentucky Wildcats had entered into a home-and-home arrangement, beginning in Spokane this upcoming season.
The excitement started to get muted a bit, when the rumblings came out that the game would not be happening in The Kennel in Spokane, but rather, in the Spokane Arena, just down the road from campus. So rather than a traditional home-and-home, we are now looking at a neighbor’s home-and-home.
This morning, Coach John Calipari of the Kentucky Wildcats stated his reasoning for the location shift.
