Just as expected, Kentucky and North Carolina will renew their basketball rivalry in the 2013-14 season.

[William F Hansford]

Coach Cal just dropped a couple of bombs over on his website about the future of UK’s basketball schedule. It includes a home game against Baylor in 2012, the renewal of the UNC series, talks of a series with Duke, and Baylor again in 2013 at Cowboys Stadium.

Get used to football stadiums.

Cal wants to play in at least one if not two every year:

Let me be clear: It is important that we play in at least one if not two football stadiums every year to prepare our players for NCAA Tournament venues. Not every program can play a regular-season game in a stadium like we can. The NCAA Tournament plays half its regional games and the entire Final Four in those venues. Who do you think will be in those domes and stadiums? It will be us. I’m convinced we would have won the title two seasons ago if we would have played in a dome during the regular season. Our guys weren’t prepared for it.

I like the fact that both the Duke game at the Georgia Dome in 2012 and the Baylor game at Cowboys Stadium in 2013 are the Final Four sites for those years.

I cannot even explain my excitement for the game in Cowboy’s stadium! It sucks living in Dallas and missing my CATS play


Get excited.

[Scheduling: I want to create experiences, not just games.
