Kentucky in talks to play West Virginia on Black Friday in Nashville

Kentucky and West Virginia might face off in a Black Friday basketball game in Nashville, a neutral site matchup scheduled for November 27, 2026. This potential game highlights the growing trend of neutral-site contests that bring teams together in unique settings. With both schools having former coach Kerr Kriisa connections, it’s a matchup that’s not just a game but a reunion of sorts for Kriisa’s former players and fans. This kind of scheduling is increasingly popular and could boost attendance and excitement beyond traditional home-and-away games.
