The Kentucky-Louisville Rivalry is the MOST INTENSE in College Basketball & It's Back!

The rivalry is back — and it’s personal again. After years of scandals, silence, and empty seats, Louisville fans finally believe they have a shot at Kentucky.

KSR’s Steven Peake breaks down why this game means more than ever, why it’s the most intense rivalry in college basketball, and why after two years of pity… he’s back to saying exactly what Kasean Pryor said best: “F** ’em.”

“Let me start this by addressing who the FBI refers to as University-6. Hi, Louisville. Welcome back. I’ve missed you,” Peake said. “I’ve missed the tweets, the jabs, the obsessive chants — I’ve genuinely missed this rivalry. I don’t need interviews to prove it, I don’t need postgame press conferences. I live here and I’m chronically online. I can feel how much this game means to you.”

The Cats and the Cards meet once again, this time in the KFC Yum! Center — for all of the bragging rights this year. Others will pretend their rivalries are better, but we all know the real answer.

KSR explains why just a day away from the best day of the year for Big Blue Nation.
