Next season’s Kansas-Villanova men’s basketball game, set for Dec. 21 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, will be part of the inaugural Big 12/Big East “scheduling alliance” set of games, the leagues announced Thursday.
The game, which was scheduled in November of 2017 as part of a home-and-home series between the schools, is a rematch of KU’s 74-71 victory over the Wildcats on Dec. 15, 2018 at Allen Fieldhouse.
