As rumored and reported yesterday by various outlets, the Kentucky basketball program has officially announced the delay of its three-year series with Michigan, including the highly-anticipated London Showcase.
The series will now begin in 2021 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, followed by the inaugural Basketball Hall of Fame London Showcase in London in 2022 and a UK home game in 2023. The series was originally slated to begin this upcoming season with the trip to London, followed by a visit to Michigan in 2021 and a Rupp Arena game in 2022.
“I’m disappointed that we aren’t able to go to London this season – I was really looking forward to meeting the Queen – but I’m glad we were all able to come together, figure this out and preserve this series for the future,” UK head coach John Calipari said.
