Kentucky and Gonzaga agree to discontinue their men’s basketball series

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky and Gonzaga have mutually agreed to discontinue a men’s college basketball series that had been scheduled to run for two more seasons.

The two schools made a joint announcement Wednesday that said the move was made “to allow each program freedom to re-evaluate future scheduling priorities, including conference obligations and nonconference opportunities.”

Kentucky had been scheduled to host Gonzaga during the 2026-27 season. Gonzaga would have been the home team for the 2027-28 matchup.

Gonzaga had gone 3-1 against Kentucky over the last four seasons, including a 94-59 triumph on Dec. 5 in Nashville, Tennessee.
