Villanova and Kansas will reprise its intriguing head-to-head series next season.

The Wildcats and Jayhawks on Monday announced games scheduled for the 2018-19 season at Allen Field House and 2019-20 at the Wells Fargo Center.

“We have great respect for Coach (Bill) Self and the Kansas program,” Jay Wright said in a statement. “The games we have played against Kansas have been some of the most memorable non-conference games in our time here. Every time we have faced Kansas, it has made our team better and we know that will be the case when we meet again.”

Villanova last faced Kansas in the Elite Eight of the 2016 NCAA Tournament, with the Wildcats winning, 64-59, and eventually winning a national title. 

All-time, the series is tied at 3-3 with 'Nova winning the previous two meetings.

Villanova (6-0) is currently ranked No. 4 in the nation. Kansas (5-0) is No. 2.
