West Virginia to host Kentucky in Big 12/SEC Challenge

The Big 12 and SEC announced the schedule for the 2018 Big 12/SEC Challenge on Thursday.

Among the matchups announced was a game between WVU and Kentucky scheduled for January 27, 2018.

This will be the 21st all-time meeting between the two schools. The Wildcats lead the series 15-5.

The last time the Mountaineers defeated Kentucky was in 2010, when Da’Sean Butler led the charge in Syracuse to clinch West Virginia’s first Final Four bid since 1959 with a 73-66 win.

Next January’s game will also be the 12th meeting between Bob Huggins and John Calipari.
