Restoring the men’s basketball series between Indiana and Kentucky was a goal of Mike Woodson’s once he arrived in Bloomington. Last year, he got it done.
The Hoosiers and Wildcats, then coached by John Calipari, agreed to a four-game series to be played in Rupp Arena, Lucas Oil Stadium and Assembly Hall. The agreement drew some criticism with Kentucky getting two true home games while Indiana received one, but Woodson was getting that game back on the schedule no matter what.
Well, Calipari is gone.
It was he who helped end the regular season series over a decade ago following a last-second shot from Christian Watford in Assembly Hall.
