The matchups for the eighth annual edition of the SEC - Big 12 Challenge were announced today. The Kentucky Wildcats will host the Texas Longhorns on January 30th.
Kentucky is 4-3 in the event since its inception during the 2013-2014 season. That was not a great regular season for the Wildcats, and they dropped their inaugural game in the series to Baylor. They went on to defeat Texas, go 1-2 against Kansas, and win a thriller in overtime last season at Texas Tech.
After a slow start, John Calipari has led his team to three straight victories in the challenge.
