Nick KrugJust like everyone figured, the Jan. 30 Big 12/SEC Challenge main event — Kentucky at Kansas — will be played at night and broadcast by ESPN.
The Jayawks, currently ranked No. 1 in the nation, will play host to the Wildcats, currently No. 14, at 6 p.m.
UK leads the all-time series, 22-6, and has defeated KU in three straight meetings, including the 2012 national title game.
In the most recent KU-UK matchup, Karl-Anthony Towns and company steamrolled the Jayhawks, 72-40, at the 2014 Champions Classic, in Indianapolis.
Kentucky last visited Allen Fieldhouse 10 years ago, and Kansas blew out its fellow blue blood, 73-46.
