It’s the last week in December and that means it’s time for UK and UofL to face off on the hardwood. For the 36th consecutive season, these two programs will be meeting in the regular season in what many consider the best rivalry in college basketball. For only the fourth time in that run, Louisville will have a brand new head coach.
Louisville, to this point, has exceeded expectations under Chris Mack and they’ll be looking to pick up a much needed resume boosting win today at the KFC Yum! Center. Meanwhile, Kentucky is fresh off a much needed non-conference win over North Carolina and will be looking for their first road victory before beginning SEC play next week.
