Kentucky fans just may get the wish they’ve been asking for over the last several years. It’s been 12 seasons since Kentucky played in the Maui Classic and now over 20 since the Wildcats have had the opportunity to meet the Gonzaga Bulldogs in action. The last time the two played was November 27th, 2002 when Tubby Smith was in the midst of his Kentucky tenure. The Wildcats won, 80-72, and since haven’t been able to schedule a regular season game or met the Bulldogs in the NCAA Tournament.
Really interesting scheduling opportunity, if no roadblocks…

However, a meeting may just be on the horizon following Kentucky head coach John Calipari’s tweet from Thursday evening.
