One of college basketball&#8217;s most important and storied rivalries is back on the schedule. Indiana University Athletic Director Scott Dolson and Kentucky Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart jointly agreed today to a four-game men&#8217;s basketball series beginning with the 2025-26 season and continuing thru the 2028-29 campaign.  The four-game series will include two home games for each program. To provide more Hoosier fans with an opportunity to witness an IU-UK game firsthand, IU has elected to hold one of its home contests at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The two programs faced each other in Indianapolis 10 times from 1987-2005 at the Hoosier\/RCA Dome, games that featured electric atmospheres in front of crowds in excess of 40,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The series schedule is:<br>Dec. 20, 2025 \u2013 Rupp Arena at Central Bank Center, Lexington, Ky.<br>Dec. 27, 2026 \u2013 Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Ind. (IU home game)<br>Dec. 18, 2027 \u2013 Rupp Arena at Central Bank Center, Lexington, Ky.<br>Dec. 16, 2028 \u2013 Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, Bloomington, Ind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is an exciting day for not only IU and UK Basketball, but college basketball,&#8221; Dolson said. &#8220;When you consider the history, the passion, and the proximity of our schools, this is a game that means a great deal to so many people. I appreciate Mitch Barnhart&#8217;s willingness to work together to resume what I believe to be college basketball&#8217;s best non-conference rivalry. I also appreciate the support of Coach Calipari and Coach Woodson and their desire to bring this series back. Their relationship is a big reason why we are able to make today&#8217;s announcement.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s great to renew this series, which is among the most competitive rivalries and storied traditions of college basketball,&#8221; Barnhart said. &#8220;The matchup will resume its place as one of the nation&#8217;s most anticipated games of the season. This emanated from Coach Cal and Coach Woodson getting together and talking about playing again. I&#8217;ve enjoyed spending time with Scott Dolson and getting to know him better as we&#8217;ve worked out the details.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is a great day for our program and our fans,&#8221; Indiana head basketball coach&nbsp;Mike Woodson said. &#8220;Indiana-Kentucky is one of the best rivalries in college basketball, with so many great games over the years. We worked hard to get this done, and I could not be happier to be playing Kentucky once again.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is a really important rivalry to our fans and the game of college basketball and we&#8217;re happy to bring it back,&#8221; Kentucky head basketball coach John Calipari said. &#8220;Mike and I have been friends for years and I have the utmost respect for him as a coach and as a man. Let&#8217;s do this!&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The December 2025 contest will mark the first regular season game between the long-time rivals since Indiana&#8217;s 73-72 victory at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Dec. 10, 2011. That 14-year regular season lapse is the longest in the series since the two college basketball bluebloods went 21 years between regular season encounters from 1944 to 1965. The two teams have met twice since the 2011 game in the NCAA Tournament, with Kentucky posting a 102-90 win in Atlanta in the 2012 Sweet 16, and IU earning a 73-67 win in the second round of the 2016 NCAA tourney in Des Moines.  Kentucky leads the all-time series between the two schools, 32-25. Kentucky ranks second all-time with eight national championships, while Indiana is fourth with five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Big Ten announces TV schedule for Indiana University Women&#8217;s Basketball <\/strong>                                                                                                                             <br>Indiana women&#8217;s basketball will be featured in the Big Ten Conference television package 16 times this season, announced by the conference on Tuesday afternoon.

Sectional play begins Oct. 10 and runs through the semifinals and finals on Oct. 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4A Sectional 13 at Greenwood- Game 1 will be a rematch between No. 23 Bloomington North (18-9) and Bloomington South (10-15) after the senior-led Cougars swept the regular season meeting. The winner moves on to face the favorites, No. 5 Center Grove (23-4), which has a 3-2 win over North and a 3-0 win over South in pocket.  The lower bracket pits Martinsville (4-18) against Mooresville (10-17) with the host Woodmen (11-6) getting the bye. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3A Sectional 26 at Northview- No easy outs for Edgewood (20-5) here. The No. 28 Mustangs will play the third game of the first round against No. 25 Indian Creek (16-4). The Braves pulled out a 3-1 win after dropping the first set in their WIC contest. The winner most likely will face the host No. 13 Knights (20-9), who drew South Vermillion (5-16). The top bracket has Owen Valley (6-12) taking on West Vigo (5-16) with the winner getting winless Brown County (0-20). The Patriot swept both in league play this season. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1A Sectional 57 at White River Valley- Lighthouse Christian (14-8) drew the only bye to the semifinals. The Lions, though will likely be facing the only other team here with a winning record, getting the survivor of SWIAC rivals Shakamak (14-9) and defending champ WRV (6-16). Both have beaten LCA this season, but the Lions were without their starting setter against the Lakers. The bottom bracket sees Clay City (7-11) vs. Bloomfield (5-22) and Dugger Union (7-14) vs. North Central (9-16).<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-fc94b914-9748-478f-8070-c6720c11c928\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BloomingtonNews\">Follow us on Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bloomingtonnews.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"Image result for Facebook button\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-46128d28-f270-4391-a17a-bf35f5864a3e\"><strong>For&nbsp;more local news . . .<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bloomingtonnews.online\/?page_id=2\"><strong>Check out our archived episodes of&nbsp;<\/strong><em>What\u2019s Happenin\u2019<\/em><strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<\/strong><em>Talkin\u2019 Sports with Nick<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Jenkinson<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indiana University and The University of Kentucky will renew their Men&#8217;s Basketball Rivalry in 2025 It&#8217;s back.
