ASU finalizes series with Kentucky

Arizona State basketball has finalized the two-year series with perennial-power Kentucky that will begin next season.

The Sun Devils will visit Rupp Arena on Dec. 12 and then will meet the Wildcats in 2016 at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas.

Kentucky lost seven players from last season's team that reached the Final Four without a loss, but the Wildcats are expected to start next season as a national-title contender. ASU hasn't played a Top 10 team during the non-conference season since 2009.

ASU's 2015-16 schedule is not yet complete, but it's shaping up to be difficult.
