UL has never beaten UK 3 times in a row.

In basketball, i don't even worry about the Kentucky vs UL game anymore. Cal has Rick's style figured out and at this point, he's just piling on. Until Rick can recruit and land the OnenDone talent, i gotta feeling this won't be changing anytime soon. This year the talent difference between the 2 schools is bigger than i can remember in the last 8 years. I hope that Juco/transfer, whatever he is, is as good as card fans are saying. He will need to be if UL has a chance.

Even Tubby had Rick figured out pretty well.:)
 
Its such a one sided rivalry that its not even worth rubbing in anymore. Kind of reminds me of the end of the Denny days....when some UK fans started feeling sorry for them.
 
Still a huge rivalry, never gets old beating UL. Just ask anyone who lives in Louisville.
 
When you really start looking at it, it's remarkable how we've dominated this rivalry. 33-15 all time. 24-12 since the Dream Game. Even in the 80s when UL had their best decade ever and we had a mediocre decade, we topped them 5-4. Now in the midst of their second best run in their program history, we've topped them 7 of 8 times. There is no decade during which they had a winning record over us. Open it up to all 10-year periods, there still isn't one where they've had a winning record over us: 94-95 season through 03-04 season, they matched us 5-5. (Weird fluke where 4 times a top 5 Kentucky lost to UL, 3 of those unranked). UL never won more than 2 in a row, never won 3 out of 4, never won 4 out of 6.
 
Thought I should add, we are 2-1 in the Yum Center, and went 8-6 against them at Freedom Hall. They can't even top us in their home arenas. We're 12-4 in Rupp.
