There are only two states that start with ‘K’, and each has one of the two all-time winningest programs in college hoops.
Kentucky has UK. Kansas has KU. One is blue and white. One is white and blue with some red feathers thrown in.
Kentucky vs. Kansas has been the classic it’s always been in the last 12 years, with John Calipari and Bill Self each continuing to lead their schools in their winning traditions—one in a state hillier than a crumpled box and one in a state flat as a board.
They’ve met nine times since Calipari left Memphis.
