COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia will host Kentucky next season as the marquee matchup in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge and a night sure to command the fire marshal’s full attention.
Ticket demand will be fierce on Saturday, Jan. 27. Capacity could be merely a suggestion as the Wildcats play in Morgantown for only the third time. (If you can accurately cite the previous two, odds are good there’s a media guide in your bathroom.)
It’s probably no coincidence the SEC and Big 12 finalized these pairings only after the deadline for NBA draft had passed.
