Louisville vs. Kentucky in Rupp Arena will be one of the best games in college basketball this season

One of the best rivalries in college basketball takes place in December when the Kentucky Wildcats play the Louisville Cardinals. No State loves basketball more than Kentucky, so when these two teams meet on the hardwood, the entire State stops for a day.

Over the last few years, the rivalry hasn't been what basketball fans are accustomed to as Louisville went through a rough stretch, but the Cardinals made a great hire with Pat Kelsey.

While Kentucky fans are always rooting for Louisville to lose, seeing the Cards back with a competitive team weirdly is a good thing for Big Blue Nation because it makes the rivalry special.

Knowing that both of these basketball teams look like they will be extremely competitive this season is a good thing for college basketball and the Bluegrass State.

Connecticut loves both their men and woman's teams, no matter who they are playing.

And we love our men's and women's coaches too, we extend them, not fire them.

I only asked if UConn has a perennial rival. Didn’t mean to stir up anything.
