UK basketball will return to Brooklyn, N.Y., each of the next two seasons according to Lenn Robbins of the New York Post.

Robbins reported Saturday that UK officials have signed a two-year agreement for the Cats to play a game at the Barclays Center in 2013-14 and 2014-15.

According to Robbins, the first game of the deal will pitt UK against Providence on Dec. 1.

The Cats defeated Maryland, 72-69, to open the 2012-13 regular season.

The Nov. 9 contest was one one of the first games to be played at the newly-built home arena of the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets.
