No. 3 Kentucky vs. No. 4 Louisville: When I think of Louisville ...
Being a long-time Kentucky fan, my memory is sated with thoughts of big wins and disappointing losses, but standing out above all other Wildcat basketball memories are the tussles the 'Cats and Cards have become entangled in over the years.

Kentucky Basketball: Devastating Deja Vu
Watching the University of Kentucky basketball team thoroughly dismantle, dismember, and just generally "dis" the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 90-60 Saturday night, I was taken back. Transported, via my memory bank, to March of 1996. Seeing this inexperienced (Kansas was experienced, right?), yet...
