A nonconference matchup between the Kansas men’s basketball team and St. John’s will take place one day later than expected.

The Big EAST-Big 12 Battle of Kansas at St. John’s has been moved to Friday, Dec. 3 at the newly built USB Arena in Elmont, New York, both conferences announced on Friday. The game was originally scheduled for Dec. 2.

As of now, that is the only information available for this particular game. The time of the contest and television information will be announced at a later date.

This meeting between Kansas and St. John’s will be the first college basketball game held at USB Arena. The $1.1 billion multi-purpose venue will open this fall and is located adjacent to the historic Belmont Park racetrack.
