The 10 most contentious Louisville-Kentucky rivalry moments

Hate is such a strong word. For years, I have tried to teach my kids that they shouldn’t actually “hate” anything….not school, not homework or not having to go to bed on time. The only exception to that rule has and always will be Kentucky Basketball. Hate away, kids.

But enough about that. Anyone who has followed or is in any way connected to the UofL/UK Men’s Basketball rivalry is well aware of the vitriol and cattiness that it creates amongst the fans. Case in point, in 2012 two older gentlemen in the city of Louisville had to be separated by police after one (a UofL fan) punched another (a UK fan) because of an argument stemming from the two schools.
