The Wildcats are back in Lexington for a fierce fight with the Gators [Sports]
Most any game played in the Southeastern Conference, against Kentucky is a rivalry; in terms of the Big Blue Nation. In the words Coach Cal spoke at Midnight Madness this season, “You guys are crazy.” The Florida game will be the “War in Rupp” as the Gators are on the case with a 7 game winning streak with a big win over Vandy (73-65) at home this past Saturday. Kentucky will not be bullied, 23-1 overall, 9-0 in SEC play, and looking to increase the winning streak to 16.

For last Saturday’s contest, where the Cats barely took down Tennessee, the officiating was the story of the day, although Kidd-Gilchrist’s double-double and Anthony Davis’ 18 points, as well as McBee’s McStache were honorable mentions in the media after the close win. Now that the Cats are back in Lexington, Coach Cal is looking forward to a new challenge, Arkansas.

Coach Calipari said, "This was a hard game", although the freshman played well in front of their home crowd.
Kentucky travels to Louisville, brings along the Big Blue Nation [Sports]
Many Kentucky fans in Louisville look forward to the annual game in Freedom Hall, sponsored by the University of Kentucky Alumni Association in Louisville. The meeting between University of Arkansas at Little Rock and Kentucky brought fans out on a chilly evening in Louisville. Darius Miller was the star of the evening as he joins 57 other Kentucky players to reach 1000 points in their Wildcat careers.
Kentucky and Arkansas at Little Rock to meet in Freedom Hall; the YUM! Center is apparently off limits to the Big Blue Nation [Sports]
Let's assume for a moment that the reason Kentucky is not playing UALR in in the YUM! Center is because Louisville is playing St. John's the same evening. The kicker here is that U of L will be in New York that night. Rick isn't quite ready to let Cal in his house, at least for now.
It was a foul fest and it wasn’t pretty; Kentucky takes Louisville 69-62 [Sports]
Fans started talking ‘smack’ round about Monday, on both sides and only time would tell which team would walk away from Rupp with bragging rights for the next year. Now, the first meeting between the teams when both were ranked nationally in top 5, is finished and the Wildcats remain undefeated in Rupp under Head Coach John Calipari.

The first meeting between the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville men’s basketball teams resulted in a win for the Wildcats back in 1913 with a score of 34-10, bragging rights for UK fans on this one. The series, which gained momentum in the 1980’s after a 24 year lapse in meetings, now stands at 28-14; again, bragging rights for UK fans. Rick’s move to Louisville fueled the fire and for Kentucky, it became even more important to win against Louisville.
What Coach Rick Pitino and the Louisville players had to say about Kentucky [Sports]
After falling from the ranks of the unbeaten in Wednesday’s 71-68 loss to Georgetown, Rick Pitino said his team would not hold a press conference prior to Saturday’s matchup against Kentucky. From a coaching standpoint, it’s probably a wise move to not put your players through another round of questioning and instead have get it over with while still steaming about their first loss of the season.
