Are we tired of Louisville? They cheat and still don’t win. Before the cheating, they hadn’t been winning, and the Cardinals don’t look to win big anytime soon with underwhelming recruiting and a six-player 2020 offseason overhaul. Did I mention they have NCAA infractions flying in semi-annually?
Perhaps Louisville is no longer Kentucky’s finest rival in college basketball. After all, Rocky eventually left Apollo Creed behind. As I survey the landscape of our annual basketball schedule, one squad has stood above the rest and has been the Clubber Lang to Kentucky’s Rocky, the hip new contender that’s cooler, more physical, more in-your-face, more relevant.
