Well, it's that time of year again. The time when college basketball fans around the country are treated to the most heated and passionate rivalry in college sports.
Sure, some might argue Duke v. UNC or Michigan v. Ohio State (football), but to anyone living in the Bluegrass State, there is no doubt that Kentucky v. Louisville is the most anticipated game of the year.
There are a ton of sub-plots this year, as always, but some of the more intriguing ones include the first UK/UofL matchup at the Yum! Center (or, as some call it, Slick Rick's Chicken Brothel) and how each team plans to cool off the other's red-hot shooters.
The play of the Cats' freshman (as always) will be a huge factor, and hopefully the more experienced players like Miller, Liggins and Harrelson have imparted their wisdom on how to handle this type of game.
Both teams are coming in off blowout victories and have been shooting the ball extremely well lately, so I don't think either coach will want to play zone. It should be an up-tempo, run and gun style of game, a concept that fans of both teams can certainly get behind.
Of course, I'm picking UK to win (by 8), but I think it should be a really entertaining game right from the opening tip.
