Missouri fans have known for several months the Tigers would play perennial SEC powerhouse Kentucky twice next season in basketball, but MU fans can begin planning for those occasions Thursday after the conference announced its 2017-18 schedule.
First-year coach Cuonzo Martin’s squad hosts the three-time reigning SEC champion Wildcats on Feb. 3 at Mizzou Arena and the return game at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky., is slated for Feb. 24.
It’s expected that CBS will broadcast at least one of those clashes nationally, but the SEC plans to announce game times and broadcast information at a later date.
