I will be completely honest at the risk of sounding cocky, but I truly believe that AT THIS MOMENT Louisville is the best team in the country. They may not be by the end of the season -although I certainly like their chances- Right now they look great and i can't wait to see what happens when Deing gets back. All that being said, I will take the Cards by 9.

I know they are better right now, but I have seen to many bizarre things happen in this rivalry. Two that stick out are when the cards beat the cats in Rupp during the 97-98 season. Louisville went on to only win 12 games the entire season while UK won the NCAA title. The asecond one is a few years ago. Louisville ends up winning both Big East regular season and tournament titles. Were ranked #1 at the end of the year and was the #1 overall seed for the NCAA Tournament. That team needed a last second three-pointer to win the game in Freedom Hall. I say Cards 81-72.
