That's good. Those are probably our biggest rivals.
I wouldn't mind Arkansas being in the mix instead of UF, especially with Donovan gone. That matchup loses a little luster with him gone.
Definitely agree with UT and Vandy. That's the two closest campuses to UK. Makes sense.
I don't really consider Vandy a rival. Idc how long we have been kicking their ass. I would have preferred FL, UT and Arkansas. I'd have settled for Missouri if Arkansas was denied us, but Vandy...meh.
Florida is easily the second most successful program in the SEC - Billy Donovan made sure of that. The SEC needs the UF-UK game nationally to give the conference some attention. The newer UF coach White has some potential. He should be able to recruit the state of Florida successfully. Besides, Florida has a relatively stocked roster (thanks to Billy D) in comparison to other SEC teams: all twelve members are ESPN top 100 players. Florida should make the NCAA tourney again next season; they could be a dark-horse candidate for success next season (DFS, K.Hill, & D.Walker all have Final4 experience from the 2014 season).
Arkansas is a distant third (after that, LSU is 4th; Alabama/Tennessee are tied for 5th; don't know where Mizzou fits in) - most of the razorback's success (i.e, the six Final 4's and conference titles) occurred in the old SWC! The razorbacks have been relatively dormant during the whole time Florida has been making noise in the NCAAs. None of the SEC teams besides UK got out of the first weekend of the NCAAs last season.
I don't care how LONG we've played Vandy, Arkansas' fanbase alone should tip the scales in favor of being one of our 3, IMHO.
Vandy should be forced by the SEC to build a real arena, or else stop fielding a damn basketball team. Seriously, if I was a Vandy alumni/fan, I'd be embarrassed by that place.
It will be a good game. If that Lachance guy goes off then it will be a tough game for us but UK all day in rupp and on a neutral floor.Can't wait to beat y'all in Memorial Gym this season.
Yep, almost guaranteed 6 wins there year in year out now.I think this is a good thing.
Actually, I think this is a REALLY good thing !
We shall see, we shall see. I don't "hate" Vandy, don't misunderstand, I just really, really hate that "gym"; it's just not, IMO, a "real", D-1 arena.Can't wait to beat y'all in Memorial Gym this season.

True. Vandy is not now nor has it ever been a rival to UK. They've never elevated themselves nationally long enough to earn the rival label ala LSU, Arkansas, Florida.

We shall see. I'm just glad to have a team that can compete with UK and get back to the Dance.
