Two of college basketball’s elite programs will begin a home-and-home series in 2018. The Villanova Wildcats and Kansas Jayhawks are now set to play next season and the year after that, as the Big East’s best and Big XII’s best are guaranteed to square off at least once in each of the next two years.
The 2018-19 edition of this contest will take place out in Lawrence at venerable Phog Allen Fieldhouse. No disrespect to any of the hostile environments of the Big East, but it is likely that ‘Nova won’t be in a tougher place to play than the Phog next season.
