It's going to be good for both the SEC and the Big East..
ESPN announced a partnership between the SEC and Big East that will transform the current Invitational into a full blown “Challenge”. All 12 SEC teams will square off against a Big East foe, but the coolest part is that the games will now be played on one of the team’s home court, which is a change from the neutral site format for now. While UK was probably a likely team for the Invitational anyway, it guarantees them a Big East opponent - and one at home every other season - which further strengthens their non-conference schedule and gives the UK fan a chance to see a non-cupcake game at Rupp Arena every other season. For what it’s worth, John Calipari is 3-2 against the Big East in his two seasons at Kentucky after Billy Gillispie went 1-4. Oddly, Clyde’s only victory was against West Virginia. Outside his consistent defeat of the top button of his shirt, it could be his most notable win.
