UofL is everything that is wrong with college basketball?!?!
Yep, that is what Travis Waldron thinks. Check out this nice little article that he wrote and decide for yourself. Basically, UK does it right, and UofL does it wrong. What do you think??? Here is the link to the site, but I have posted the article below. Pay attention to where he graduated from…
Travis Waldron is a reporter/blogger for ThinkProgress.org at the Center for American Progress Action Fund. Travis grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, and holds a BA in journalism and political science from the University of Kentucky. Before coming to ThinkProgress, he worked as a press aide at the Health Information Center and as a staffer on Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway’s 2010 Senate campaign.

Creepy fan recruiting, UK style!
By Justin Renck:
UK football recruit Ryan Timmons is going to announce his college choice today. He attends Franklin County High School in Frankfort, KY. He is set to choose between Kentucky and Florida. So what is the weird part about this? How about the RV that is parked at his high school today?!

Team CSZ makes their quick UofL-UK predictions!
Short and sweet, here are the predictions for today’s game from Team CSZ!
Justin Renck: Cards win 74-60. Too much chaos caused by Siva and Russ on defense; too many scorers for the Cards.
Jeremy Wahman: I say too much Russ, too much Gorgui, too much D. Cards win 80-65.
Steven Rummage: 77-65 Cards. UofL defense doesn’t allow UK to break 70 and Russ Smith goes for 35.
Paige Sherrard: Tough environment for UK; Siva wants to beat the Cats badly for his 1st time. Cards win 78-69.
Paige Sherrard: UofL-UK game prediction
By Paige Sherrard:
The environment of the Yum! Center for today’s game is going to be insane. To date, UK has only played one intense non neutral game, against Notre Dame, in which the Cats were defeated 64-50. Can their Freshmen adjust to the hostility, energy, and pure insanity of the Yum! Center??
Louisville vs. Kentucky: the Edgar Sosa shot
By Justin Renck:
One of the best moments in this rivalry happened in the 2008-2009 season. The Cards ended up being the #1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, and the Cats played in the NIT. But none of that mattered on this day. In this rivalry, anything can happen! And yes, Earl Clark almost gave this game away!
Louisville vs. Kentucky: the 1983 Dream Game
By Justin Renck:
In what could be the biggest game all-time in the history of the UofL-UK rivalry, 1983 gave us the original “Dream Game.” For years, Kentucky would not play against Louisville. Actually, the last time they had played was 1959! This started with Adolph Rupp and made its way to Joe B. Hall. They considered themselves too good for us!

Most disliked Wildcat player
By Justin Renck:
According to our non-official twitter poll, the fans have spoken. Many players were mentioned, but the overwhelming choice for the most disliked player for UK goes to DeMarcus Cousins! That is pretty impressive that he was able to capture this title and he only played for 1 season at UK.
