When Indiana and Kentucky announced an agreement to resume a basketball series beginning in 2025, Hoosier fans joked that John Calipari wouldn’t be around when the Wildcats visit Bloomington in 2028.
After news broke late Sunday that Calipari is leaving Kentucky to become the coach at Arkansas, it turns out that Indiana fans were correct. Calipari won’t be coaching the Wildcats for any of the four scheduled games against Indiana.
The two storied programs will play for the first time in the regular season since 2011 next December in Lexington at Rupp Arena and Calipari won’t be around to coach the Wildcats.
