John Calipari, Mark Few announce first-ever Kentucky-Gonzaga series

Two of college basketball's preeminent programs are squaring off.

Kentucky and Gonzaga will play a men's basketball home-and-home series starting this upcoming season. Wildcats head coach John Calipari and Bulldogs head coach Mark Few announced the series on Tuesday during a UK fundraiser at Rupp Arena to aid victims of the deadly flooding in Kentucky.

Few joined Calipari on the video board for some banter before announcing that the teams would tip off the series on Nov. 20 at Gonzaga.

The teams will meet again in Lexington during the 2023-24 season.
