We are here! This is one of the most anticipated games of every season as the Kentucky Wildcats take on the Louisville Cardinals.
There have been many great battles between these two teams. and the rivalry runs deep in the state.
After the debacle that was Rick Pitino, many fans thought Louisville would be down in the dumps for years to come. Well, that’s not exactly what has transpired as Chris Mack has come in and completely changed the culture.
Louisville has taken down Michigan State, lost by 1 point to a talented Indiana team, and beaten a Seton Hall team that Kentucky fell to in overtime at the Garden.
The Cards play scrappy basketball and will be ready to give the Cats a grind-it-out game. Enjoy the rivalry, because it’s officially back!
Today’s game can be seen on ESPN2 at 2pm EST. You can stream it online using WatchESPN and the WatchESPN App. Listen to an online radio stream with UK Athletics.
