One thing that has always taken sports to the next level is when two teams meet that have a rivalry. Outside of Louisville, for the Kentucky Wildcats… The North Carolina Tarheels have been that team that is circled each and every year on the schedule.
That rivalry could find its way of losing its luster in the next few years. North Carolina had been viewed as a gold standard for basketball along with others such as Kentucky, Duke and Kansas. Once Rashad McCants came forth about the “classes” that he was taking at the university, the gold standard quickly dropped.
