Yesterday’s reports are accurate. John Calipari just confirmed that Kentucky will play Gonzaga at Spokane Arena on November 20, not McCarthey Athletic Center, aka “The Kennel,” the Bulldogs’ on-campus arena.
Spokane Arena seats 12,210 for basketball games, over twice the capacity of The Kennel. Calipari tweeted that he hopes the increased seating will allow more Kentucky fans to get in, even teasing that the series may be extended from two to four years. On Tuesday night, Few agreed to bring Gonzaga to Rupp Arena in the 2023-24 season during Kentucky’s open practice for flood relief.
