The Kentucky Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals square off today in Rupp Arena with much at stake for both teams.
For Louisville, they need a win in order to validate their 11-1 start with no other wins over a quality team to speak of. A win would also halt what's been a stretch of dominance in favor of the Cats and their 7-1 record under John Calipari vs the Cards.
For Kentucky, this would be a much-needed bounce-back win after last week's embarrassing loss to Ohio State. A win over a top-15 Louisville team would also keep the Cats in the discussion for as high seed in the NCAA Tournament since quality wins are going to be hard to come by in SEC play.
