The Indiana-Kentucky series ended when Christian Watford sank a buzzer-beater in 2011 to stun the No. 1 Wildcats at Assembly Hall.
Kentucky went on to avenge that loss with a 102-90 victory over the Hoosiers in the 2012 South Regional semifinal in Atlanta. The two programs met again in the 2016 NCAA tournament round of 32 in Des Moines with Indiana prevailing 73-67.
A regular season meeting between the two storied programs, however, has been dormant due to an unwillingness by John Calipari to play the games on campus.
On Wednesday at Huber’s Winery in Borden, Indiana coach Mike Woodson said he’s still pushing for the series to resume even if it has to be played at a neutral site.
