Kentucky, Gonzaga agree to end hoops series early

Scheduled to face off for two more seasons, perennial basketball powers Kentucky and Gonzaga on Wednesday announced an agreement to end their series early.

In a joint statement, the schools said the decision was made “to allow each program freedom to re-evaluate future scheduling priorities, including conference obligations and nonconference opportunities.”

The Wildcats were to host the Bulldogs in the 2026-27 season, with Gonzaga scheduled to host Kentucky the following season.

Over the last four seasons, Gonzaga posted a 3-1 record in the series, including a 94-59 victory Dec. 5 in Nashville, Tenn.
