This rivalry goes back a long way, as each program has had its moments at the top of College Basketball. At the moment, I think the bulk of the talent on the floor for this one belongs to Kentucky. The Cats are still putting things together but have a lot of answers. Louisville had a big moment with a win over Indiana, but games against Ole Miss, Duke, and Tennessee showed how far this team has to go to compete at a high level on a nightly basis. Those three games mentioned above saw the Cards lose by a combined 56 total points or nearly 20 a game, so a blowout here is not out of the question. The Cats have beaten Duke and Gonzaga, and the offense has been NBA-like, with 100+ points in four games already. Louisville isn't ready for prime time at this point. Make the play on Kentucky.
