April 27, 201214 yr Rumors are starting to swirl again that the two could be paired up in the Big East/SEC Challenge. Unlike last year where most of the rumors were on the UC side of things, it is coming from both sides now and just might end up happening in December...

I got my hopes up last year. My money is on UK @ Syracuse.
April 27, 201214 yr Author Would they play this at UC? I got my hopes up last year. My money is on UK @ Syracuse. Have to think it would be on campus. Cuse played at home last year so they are set for a road game. Looks like the teams likely in play to host UK are UC, GTown and Marquette...
April 27, 201214 yr Have to think it would be on campus. Cuse played at home last year so they are set for a road game. Looks like the teams likely in play to host UK are UC, GTown and Marquette... So how did UK get away with playing 2 "home" games? Notre Dame in Louisville two year ago & St. Johns in Rupp last year? I've never been able to figure that one. Was the ND game not considered SEC/Big East challenge? Having said that, since UK/UC makes sense, I'm guessing it'll be Georgetown.

I didn't think the UK/Notre Dame game two years ago wasn't part of the challenge.

Prior to that it was at neutral sites with 4 teams playing two games at two different locations. Last year it went from 4 teams in each league playing to 12 teams playing with half of the games at a Big East home and half at a SEC home...
April 27, 201214 yr Author I didn't think the UK/Notre Dame game two years ago wasn't part of the challenge. Yes it was. Part of a double header with Arkansas facing Seton Hall the same night in Louisville...

April 27, 201214 yr This seems to make sense. I do think though if this game comes to fruition, it will be played at US Bank Arena. Bigger venue and a chance for those involved with US Bank to try and attract future 2nd and 3rd Round games.

If it happens I will be shocked if it is not at the Shoe...
