Louisville basketball is set to take on Kentucky today in the Battle of the Bluegrass rivalry game.

One of the biggest rivalries in sports is set to take shape once again in this Covid year when Louisville basketball takes on Kentucky in a series that has been played in now 42 consecutive seasons.

Kentucky leads the all-time series that dates back to 1913, 37-15.

This is a very unfamiliar spot for Kentucky who has lost five straight contests this season and has not beaten a power five team yet.
