26-14 All time record
17-11 Modern era record
That would be the records heads up Kentucky versus Louisville. No matter how you cut it, Past-Present-Future, Louisville will NEVER be able to carry the Big Blue's Jockstrap on the Basketball Court. When 23,000 show up for a Debate, Spelling Bee or some other acedemic activity for either school then they will be called Student-Athletes. Face it, They are Athletes that have to be Students in order to be Athletes. This happens at EVERY university on the planet but since The Big Blue is the measuring stick against all others and especially the inferior college in Louisville, UK will always be under a higher powered microscope than the others.
Lets bring in 6 new players to the 13 player roster, 3 Freshmen start and another Freshman and a Juco player come off the bench to play vital minutes, to a NIT team that probably should not have been in the NIT and go 37-3 to the Elite 8, win both the SEC regular season and Tourney Titles in THE FIRST YEAR OF THE CAL ERA - Sure glad he has never won anything and can't coach a lick. Sort of like a snowball rolling down hill it gets bigger and bigger and faster and faster, last year was just the hand size snowball of talent that is coming aboard. You saw the same thing with Benedict Pitino in the mid 90's that ended up with the BEST 3 year stretch of any team in the last 20 years, I believe it was 2 Titles and 1 Title lost in OT or it would have been 3 in a row. Keep the 2.0 Athlete/Students coming and we will concede the Debate, Chess, Spelling, Science, Math and any other academic contest to the greatness of U of L, but when they hit the hardwood...........
