It wasn’t that long ago that Michigan and Kentucky announced a three-game series in basketball, with the first contest due to be in London at O2 Arena in 2020, before it became a home and home starting in 2021.

However, with coronavirus concerns ongoing, there’s been something of a shift in those games to come.

Multiple reporters on the basketball front have confirmed that the Dec. 6 matchup between the Wildcats and the Wolverines in the United Kingdom will be delayed, but still happening. Though fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the two big time programs will now have to wait until 2022 to see them tip-off across the Atlantic.

There is still no word yet about what will happen now in 2020 or in 2021. Certainly, there could be a swap of the game that was set to take place in Rupp Arena in 2022 to 2020, if the two teams are intent on keeping their contest in place.

For now, we’ll await further details about the big non-conference matchup seriess.
